Question

What are the dimensions of gravitational potential?

Answer 1

The equation for gravitational potential energy is GPE = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 on Earth), and h is the height above the ground in meters.

The Gravitational Potential at a point in a gravitational field is defined as the amount of work done in bringing a body of unit mass from infinity to that point without acceleration.The gravitational potential at a point is always negative, it is maximum (= 0 ) at infinity.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Dimensional formula of Gravitational Potential is M0L2T-2. The SI unit of Gravitational Potential is J kg-1. More formulas which might be of interest to you
