Chapter 13, Problem 13.81CP
CALC Mass M is distributed uniformly over a disk of radius a. Find the gravitational force (magnitude and direction) between this disk-shaped mass and a particle with mass m located a distance x above the center of the disk (Fig. P13.81). Does your result reduce to the correct expression as x becomes very large? (Hint: Divide the disk into infinitesimally thin concentric rings, use the expression derived in Exercise 13.35 for the gravitational force due to each ring, and integrate to find the total force.)
