The methods of calculation of gravity potential V and potential energy E for ellipsoidal planet for existing one-dimensional mass distribution were not worked out. That’s why now the derivation of formulas for simultaneous calculation of density mass’s distribution and potential and energy for the ellipsoidal body is actual.
