Two bodies of masses 5 kg and 10 kg are lying at a distance of 0.5 m. What will be the magnitude of gravitational potential and gravitational field intensity at the middle point of the line joining two bodies ?

Explanation

To solve the problem of finding the gravitational potential and gravitational field intensity at the midpoint between two masses of 5 kg and 10 kg separated by a distance of 0.5 m, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the midpoint and distances
The two bodies are located 0.5 m apart. The midpoint is therefore 0.25 m from each mass.

### Step 2: Calculate the gravitational potential at the midpoint
The gravitational potential \( V \) due to a mass \( m \) at a distance \( r \) is given by the formula:
\[
