Question
Gravitational potential at the centre of curvature of a hemispherical bowl of radius R and mass M is V.
- gravitational potential at the centre of curvature of a thin uniform wire of mass M, bent into a semicircle of radius R, is also equal to V.
- In part (A) if the same wire is bent into a quarter of a circle then also the gravitational potential at the centre of curvature will be V.
- In part (A) if the same wire mass is nonuniformly distributed along its length and it is bent into a semicircle of radius R, gravitational potential at the centre is V.
- none of these
The correct answer is: gravitational potential at the centre of curvature of a thin uniform wire of mass M, bent into a semicircle of radius R, is also equal to V.

A, B, C are vertices of an equilateral triangle imagined in free space (no gravity). First a mass m is brought from infinity to point A and the work done in doing so is WA. Then keeping m fixed at A, another identical mass m is brought from infinity to point B. The work done is WB. The work done by the another identical mass m brought from infinity to C is WC keeping A and B fixed. Then
