Several planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus) are encircled by rings, perhaps composed of material that failed to form a satellite. In addition, many galaxies contain ring-like structures. Consider a homogeneous thin ring of mass of M and outer radius R (see the figure). NOTE: Give your answer in terms of the variables given and G when applicable. (a) What gravitational attraction does it exert on a particle of mass m located on the ring's central axis a distance x from the ring center? F = (b) What is the potential energy of the mass m as a function of its distance x from the ring? U(x) = (c) Calculate −dU/dx, where U is the potential energy of the small mass m. (Is this answer what you expected?) −dU/dx = (d) Suppose that, starting from the distance x shown, the particle falls from rest as a result of the attraction of the ring of matter. What is the speed with which it passes through the center of the ring? v =
