Calculating Gravitational Field of a Ring Using Python - Astrophysics Tutorial
Dot Physics via YouTube
Overview
Learn to calculate and visualize the gravitational field generated by a ring of mass M and radius R positioned in the x-y plane through this 22-minute physics tutorial. Master the process of determining the vector value of the gravitational field at any point along the z-axis, with practical applications using Python code. Explore a real-world scenario by analyzing a ring with mass and radius equivalent to Earth's dimensions, implementing numerical calculations to determine precise gravitational field values. Access included Python code to perform calculations and create visual representations of the gravitational field patterns.
