Me, too:smile:

Thank you for the reply tiny-tim. And, I have another question. What if the function is dependent on the position vector r but not the magnitude of it? So: F(r) = f(r)r Then is there any potential for such a force, and if so, under what conditions it exists? Thanks

Hello, I am trying to compute the potential for a central force of the form: F(r) = f(r)r where r=|r| Using the conservative force information, equation1 comes for potential V(r): equation1: V(r) = \int (-F(r))= \int (-f(r) r) In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_force" it is stated...
