Potential Energy

  Suppose that in repeated experiments, the mass is typically confined to the region between r=0 and tex2html_wrap_inline458 . From this, give an approximation for the potential energy expected on average. Plot this typical expected potential energy V as a function of the parameter tex2html_wrap_inline462 .
