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) = [tex]\int [/tex] (-F(r))= [tex]\int [/tex] (-f(r) r)
In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_force" it is stated that this integral is bounded from |r| to infinity. However I could not understand the reason.
Could someone help me?
Thanks..
