Question

gravitational self energy of a body​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Gravitational Self Energy

The gravitational self-energy of a body is defined as the work done by an external agent in assembling the body from the infinitesimal elements that are initially at an infinite distance apart.

Answer 2

Answer:

When we assemble a system of particles in a given configuration and shape, the work done against the gravitational forces of the system will be considered as the interaction potential energy of the system. Similarly, for a single body, the interaction energy of all the particles of the body is called gravitational self-energy of the body.
