Define: The universal law of gravitation and derive mathematically.

Answer»

Solution :The universal law of grivatation: Everyy object in the universe attracts every other object with a force with is directly PROPORTIONAL to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to thesquare of the distance between their centres.
Let `m_(1)` and `m_(2)` be the masses of two objects, the distance between their centres be d.
The gravitational attraction between the two wil be GIVEN by
`F ALPHA(m_(1)m_(2))/(d^(2))`
`:.F=(Gm_(1)m_(2))/(d^(2))` (G is constant)
G is CALLED gravitational constantit is also known as universal constant of gravitation.
