Question

The law of gravitation is applicable for:

• A. heavy bodies only
• B. medium sized bodies only
• C. small sized bodies only
• D. bodies of any size

Answer 1

The correct option is D

bodies of any size

Explanation

1. Thus, the law of universal gravitation states the force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

$F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

Where, "M" and "m" are the masses of two bodies and "r" is the distance between them and “G” is the universal gravitational constant,

2. As any two bodies can be there, so it doesn't matter whether they are large, medium or small.

Hence, option ‘d’ is correct.
