$A$ particle is kept on the surface of a uniform sphere of mass $1000 \ kg$ and radius $1 \ m$. The work done per unit mass against the gravitational force between them is $\left[G=6.67 \times 10^{-11} \ N \ m^2 \ kg^{-2}\right]$

The bodies of masses $100 \,kg$ and $8100 \,kg$ are held at a distance of $1 \,m$. The gravitational field at a point on the line joining them is zero. The gravitational potential at that point in $J/kg$ is $\left(G = 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \,Nm^2/kg^2\right)$
