To find the work done by an external agent to fill a mass \( m \) in a spherical volume of radius \( R \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Gravitational Potential Energy The gravitational potential energy \( U \) between two masses \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) separated by a distance \( r \) is given by the formula: \[ U = -\frac{G m_1 m_2}{r} \] where \( G \) is the gravitational constant. ...
