The image above represents the Gravitational potential. To calculate the gravitational potential of a field, two essential parameters are needed which are mass (m) and radius (r).
The formula for calculating the gravitational potential;
V = (Gm) / r
Where;
V = Gravitational potential
m = Mass
r = Radius
Let’s solve an example;
Find the gravitational potential of a field when the mass is 14 cm with a radius of 9 cm.
This implies that;
m = Mass = 14 cm
r = Radius = 9 cm
V = (Gm) / r
V = (6.67 x 10-11 x 14) / 9
So, V = 1.0375e-10 / 9
V = 1.0375e-10
Therefore, the gravitational potential is 1.0375e-10 Volts (V).
