Four particles each of mass M, are located at the vertices of a square with side L. The gravitational potential due to this at the centre of the square is

a
−32GML
b
−64GML2
c
Zero
d
32GML

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Potential at the centre due to single mass = −GML​/​2Potential at the centre due to all four masses =−4GML/2=−42GML=−32×GML
