Question
derive the formula for the universal law of gravitation
Open in App
Solution
Dear Student,
The universal law of gravitation states that the force of attraction between two masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance r is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the masses.
That is,
F α m1m2
F α 1/r2
Or, F = Gm1m2/r2
Where, G is a constant called the universal gravitational constant and is equal to 6.67 × 10-11 Nm2/kg2
Regards
