Answer:
Gravitational potential at a point is the amount of work to transfer unit mass of a body form infinity to that point in a gravitational field. ∫v0dV=∫r∞GMx2dx. i.e., V=GM[1∞-1r] i.e., V=-GMr. Gravitational P.e at a point is defined as the energy acquired by the mass body placed at that point in a gravitational field
