Describe the gravitational forces.

Question

Answer 1

Gravitational forces: Gravitational force is the attractive force between two bodies of non zero masses.
According to Newton's Gravitational Law : Gravitational force between two bodies is directly proportional to product of there masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.
Mathematically, it is defined as
Gravitational forces:

F \propto M_{1} M_{2} F \propto \frac{1}{r^{2}} \Rightarrow F \propto \frac{M_{1} M_{2}}{r^{2}} or, F = \frac{G M_{1} M_{2}}{r^{2}}

where,

M_{1}

and

M_{2}

are the masses of two bodies, r is the distance between them and G is is the Gravitational constant
Value of Gravitational constant is

6.674 \times 10^{- 11} N m^{2} / k g^{2}
