The contribution to the perihelion advanced of Mercury arising out of the dependence of mass on gravitational potential

Abstract

The effect of general relativistic prediction of the dependence of mass on gravitational potential on the dynamics of a planet moving around the sun is shown to have a negative contribution of 14.326 arcsec/century towards the overall non-Newtonian perihelion advance of Mercury.
