example

Potential as path integral of gravitational field

Example: The gravitational field in x direction due to some mass distribution is , where is a constant. Assuming the gravitational potential to be zero at infinity, then what will be its value at a distance ?

Solution:
Gravitational potential energy is given by the relation,
