Solved: Gravitational potential The potential function for
Chapter 14, Problem 59(choose chapter or problem)
Gravitational potential The potential function for the gravitational force field due to a mass M at the origin acting on a mass m is w = GMm> _ r _, where r = 8x, y, z9 is the position vector of the mass m and G is the gravitational constant. a. Compute the gravitational force field F = -_w. b. Show that the field is irrotational; that is, _ * F = 0.
