State the universal law of gravitation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The universal law of gravitation states that every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force called the gravitational force. The force acting between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
Massas of two objects ` m_(1) and m_(2)`
distance between the two object = d
FOrce of attaction acting object = d
FOrce of attracting acting between them =F
it will be given by the universal law of gravitation .
` F= Gm_(1)m_(2)//d^(2)`
Where .G is the universal constant .
`G = 6.67xx10^(-11) Nm^(2)Kg^(-2)`
