The minus sign in the formula indicates that:

  • A gravitational force exists.
  • The satellite cannot leave the orbit by itself.
  • A minimum threshold of energy will be required to move the satellite from its existing orbit.

g = G M in   r 2  , where M in   = ∫ 0 r ? ρ 4 π x 2 ⋅ d x

M in   = 4 π ρ 0 ∫ 0 r ? ? 1 - x 3 R 3 x 2 d x = 4 π ρ 0 r 3 3 - r 6 6 R 3 ∴ g = 4 π G ρ 0 6 2 r - r 4 R 3

For g  to be maximum or minimum or constant d g d r = 0 ⇒ 2 - 4 r 3 R 3 = 0 ⇒ r = R 2 1 / 3

Let the origin be at the CM of the particles, let the initial positions of the particles be x = a/2 and x = -a/2 and let the instantaneous positions of the particles be x = r and x = -r
Let the instantaneous velocity of each particle be v
Let the time after which the distance between the particles has
