To find the potential energy of a system of four particles each of mass \(2m\) kept at the vertices of a square of side \(x\), and to find the potential at the center of the square, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Configuration We have four particles, each of mass \(2m\), placed at the vertices of a square. The side length of the square is \(x\). ### Step 2: Calculate the Distance Between Particles The distance between any two adjacent particles (vertices) is simply the side of the square, which is \(x\). The distance between two opposite vertices (diagonal) can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: \[ ...
