Convergence of Gravitational Potential with continuous mass distribution
Wikipedia lists the gravitational potential as
$$V(\vec{x})=-\int_{\mathbb{R}^3}
\frac{\rho(\vec{r})G}{|\vec{x}-\vec{r}|}
dv(\vec{r})
$$
with $dv(\vec{r})$ the volume element, G the gravitational constant …

Gravitational potential of an approaching mass
Let $\Phi(0, t)$ be the gravitational potential at the origin and $t$ the clock ticking at infinity, i.e. not influenced by any gravitation. … Short Version
What is the time dependent gravitational potential at the origin when a mass approaches it with constant velocity in terms of General Relativity. …

Gravitational potential inside a long but finite cylinder
How can the gravitational potential (not the gravitational field) inside the cylinder be derived. … But this does not mean the potential is zero, its just constant. Is there a simple formula for it? …

Gravitational potential inside a long but finite cylinder
For a start lets concentrate on the gravitational potential for a point $\vec{x}$ in the middle of the bore hole. … along the cylinder axis like this:
One can imagine, that the longer the cylinder gets, the closer comes the potential to a constant along the axis of the cylinder. …
