We exhibit a general static spherically symmetric solution of the Brans-Dicke vacuum field equations, which is valid in the weak field approximation. From this solution, we investigated the Newtonian limit obtaining general expressions for gravitational force and the corresponding potential. In addition, we obtain the metric solution for a "Yukawa" radial coordinate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
