Chapter 13, Problem 70CP

(choose chapter or problem)

Figure CP13.70 shows a particle of mass \(m\) at distance \(x\) along the axis of a very thin ring of mass \(M\) and radius \(R\).

a. Calculate the gravitational potential energy of these two masses.

b. Use what you know about the relationship between force and potential energy to find the magnitude of the gravitational force on m when it is at position \(x\).
