Gravitational potential: Gravitational potential at any point in the gravitational field is equal to work done in bringing unit mass from infinity to that point. It is represented by VG.
∴ VG = \(\frac{W}{M}\)
Where W = the work done in bringing mass M from infinity to that point
∴ S.I. unit of VG = \(\frac{J}{\mathrm{kg}}\) = J. kg-1
