Suppose that an object of mass m is beneath the surface of the earth. In terms of a polar coordinate system with its origin at the earth’s center, the gravitational force on the object is – (mgr/RE)er, where RE is the radius of the earth. Show that the potential energy associated with the gravitational force is V = mgr2/2RE.
