Answer the questions below:
State the universal law of gravitation and deduce its mathematical expression.
1. Newton’s universal law of gravitation:
This law states that,
.
The force between the particles is always , and it where they are placed.
Let \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) be the masses of two bodies \(A\) and \(B\), placed \(r\ metre\) apart in space.
On combining the above two expressions,
2. In the formula \(F = \frac{G m_1 m_2}{r^2}\), \(G\) represents .
