State Newton's law of gravitation. What is the difference between:
g and G?

उत्तर
Newton law of gravitation is that every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
'g' is the acceleration due to earth's gravity and 'G' is universal gravitational constant.

Different points in earth are at slightly different distances from the sun and hence experience different forces due to gravitation. For a rigid body, we know that if various forces act at various points in it, the resultant motion is as if a net force acts on the c.m. (centre of mass) causing translation and a net torque at the c.m. causing rotation around an axis through the c.m. For the earth-sun system (approximating the earth as a uniform density sphere).
The Superposition Principle states that the net gravitational force on an object is ______.
