CHAPTER 7 GRAVITATION

II. Newton?s Law of Gravitation

Gravitational force is a attractive force between two masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance r. The gravitational force acting between two point objects is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Where G is universal gravitational constant.

The value of G is 6.67 X 10-11 Nm2 kg-2 and is same throughout the universe.

The value of G is independent of the nature and size of the bodies well as the nature of the medium between them.
