							Let the distance of that point fromm_1ber.

Since gravitational field at that point is zero,

\dfrac{Gm_1}{r^2}=\dfrac{Gm_2}{(x-r)^2}
\implies \dfrac{r}{x-r}=\sqrt{\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}}
\implies r=(\dfrac{\sqrt{m_1}}{\sqrt{m_1}+\sqrt{m_2}})x

The gravitational potential at this point is-\dfrac{Gm_1}{r}-\dfrac{Gm_2}{x-r}=-\dfrac{G}{x}(\sqrt{m_1}+\sqrt{m_2})^2
