Chapter 16, Problem 28

(choose chapter or problem)

On two occasions we have used the gravitational selfenergyof a uniform sphere of mass M and radius R.Use integral calculus and start with a mass dm in thesphere. Calculate the work done to bring the remainderof the mass in from infi nity. By this techniqueshow that the self-potential energy of the mass isP.E. 35GM2R
