Question

Assertion : If gravitational potential at some point is zero, then gravitational field strength at that point will also be zero. Reason : Except at infinity gravitational potential due to a system of point masses at some finite distance can't be zero.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Gravitational potential is always negative and adding gravitational potential from a number of sources would never give zero potential.

However sources can be aligned such that the gravitational field vectors cancel each other to give overall zero field.
