The S.I. unit of gravitational potential...

The S.I. unit of gravitational potential is

A

`J`

B

`J//kg`

C

`J kg`

D

`J kg^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As, gravitational potential `=("work")/("mass")`
Hence SI unit gravitational potential
`=("unit of work")/("unit of mass")`
`=J//kg=Jkg^(-1)`
