How do you find the gravitational potential of two masses for any position around them that is outside the masses? Specifically, take the Earth and the Moon as an example. We need big masses like these because G is so small. Gravity is very weak. When we do electricity, we can work with smaller amounts of matter and smaller distances because electrical forces are stronger than gravitational forces.

Point A is at a distance of RA = 16 cm from each of the strands, and point B is halfway between the strands. The drawing also shows that both threads are perpendicular to the drawing plane, and points A and B lie in the drawing plane.arrow_forward
