Two heavy spheres of masses `10^(4)` kg and `10^(6)` kg and each of radius 20 cm are separated by a distance of 100 m. What will be the potential at the mid-point of the joining their centres ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The total potential at A.
` V = V_(P) +V_(Q) = -(Gm_(p))/r - (Gm_(Q))/r `
` :. V = -(6.67 xx10^(-11))/50 [ 10^(4) + 10^(6)]`
` :. V = 1.35 xx10^(-6) J//kg `
