Law of gravitation gives the gravitational force between

A

the earth and a point mass only

B

the earth and the sun only

C

any two bodies having some mass

D

two charged bodies only

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Law of gravitation is applicables to all bodies having some mass. And is given by `F=(Gm_(1)m_(2))/(r^(2))`
where, F=Force of attraction between the two bodies
`m_(1),m_(2)` = Mass of two bodies
G = Gravitational constant
r = Distance between the two bodies.
