Calculating Binding Energy for a Neutron System with Gravitational Forces

[QUOTE="TSny, post: 4493541, member: 229090"] Hello, andre220. Welcome to PF. The force of gravity between the two neutrons has exactly the same form as the electric force between the electron and the proton in a hydrogen atom. Only certain constants are different. So, recall the formula for the ground state energy of the hydrogen atom and figure out how to modify it for the gravity case. There is an additional matter to consider. In the hydrogen atom, it is assumed to a good approximation that the proton is at rest and only the electron is moving. In the "neutron atom" both neutrons will be moving. [/QUOTE]
