Compute the gravitational potential due to a thin rod

Reference no: EM13681201

Compute the gravitational potential due to a thin rod of length L and mass M at a point P located a distance R from the end of the rod and in a direction perpendicular to the rod. Suppose that the density of the rod is not constant, However changes as (x)= (? sub zero)(x^2) where x=0 at the closest end of the rod to the point P.
