Question

Two point masses m are kept r distance apart. What will be the potential at 0.25r distance from any one mass towards the other mass

Answer 1

it should be the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

answer is 16Gm/ 3R

Explanation:

V1= -Gm/R/4 = -4Gm/R

V2= -Gm/3R/4 = -4Gm/3R

V=V1+V2

= -4Gm/R -4Gm/3R

=-12Gm-4Gm/3R

=-16Gm/3R
