Q.4. Gravitational potential at x = 2 m is decreasing at a rate of 10 J/kg-m along the positive x-direction. It implies that the magnitude of gravitational field at x = 2 m is also 10 N/kg. Is this statement true or false?

Sol. Only the variation is given along x-axis, nothing is about y and z axis, so, the statement is false.

Q.5. The gravitational potential in a region is given by, V = 20(x+ y) J/kg. Find the magnitude of the gravitational force on a particle of mass 0.5 kg placed at the origin.
