The SI unit of gravitational potential is :
Correct answer: A. J/kg
- A. J/kg
- B. J/(m kg)
- C. J/(m s)
- D. Js
Explanation
The amount of work required to transport a body of unit mass from infinity to some point is known as gravitational potential. The mathematical expression will be G = W/m. The unit of work is joule and the unit of mass is the kilogram (kg), so the unit of gravitation potential will be J/Kg.
