Q.

If the gravitational field in space is given as (-Kr2) Taking the reference point to be at r=2 cm with gravitational potential V=10 J/kg, find the gravitational potential at r = 3 cm in SI unit. (Given that K = 6 J cm/kg)                   [2023]

-dVdr=-kr2  10VdV=23kr2dr

V-10=k[12-13]

V-10=k6  V=11 volts
