The gravitational potential due to earth...

The gravitational potential due to earth at infinite distance from it is zero. Let the gravitational potential at a point `P` be `-5 J kg^(-1)`. Suppose, we arbitrarily assume the gravitational potential at infinity to be `+10 J kg^(-1)`, then the gravitational potential at `P` will be
