Gravitation

What is gravitation? Gravitation is the name given to the  force  of attraction acting between any two bodies of the universe. Gravitation Newton's low of gravitation It states the gravitational force of attracting acting between any two bodies of the  universe  is directly proportional to the product of their masses and is inversely proportional to the square of the  distance  between them i.e. F = GMm/r.r . Where G is the Universal gravitational constant. The direction of this  force  F is towards the center of attracting body. M and m is the mass of particle and r is distance between particles. The Newton gravitational force is also known as mutual gravitational interaction, as the forces exerted by two bodies are mutual, equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. Newton's low of gravitation Characteristic of Gravitational force According to Newton's law on gravitation , gravitational force of attraction between two...
