Question
In a certain region of space, the gravitational field is given by - 
, where r is the distance and k is a constant. If the gravitational potential at r = r0 be V0, then what is the expression for the gravitational potential (V) : -
, where r is the distance and k is a constant. If the gravitational potential at r = r0 be V0, then what is the expression for the gravitational potential (V) : -Options
A.k log 
B.k log 
C.V0 + k log
D.V0 + k log
Solution
v = - k log r + c at r = r0 ; v = v0
By substituting the value c from equation
v = k log
