A thin of length `L` is bent to form a semicircle. The mass of rod is M. What will be the gravitational potential at the centre of the circle ?A. `-(GM)/(L)`B. `-(GM)/(2piL)`C. `-(piGM)/(2L)`D. `-(piGM)/(L)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
Since, length if rod is equal to the circumference of semicircle
`piR=LrArr R=(L)/(pi)`
Therefore, the gravitational at the centre of circle will be
`V=-(GM)/(R)=-(piGM)/(L)`.
