State two applications of universal law of gravitation.

उत्तर
Applications of universal law of gravitation,
i. Planets revolve round the sun due to gravitational force between the sun and the planets. The force required by the planets to move round in their orbit is the centripetal force, which is provided by the gravitational force of attraction between the planets and the Sun
ii. Tide is the periodic rise and fall of all ocean waters, including those of open sea, gulfs, and bays, resulting from the gravitational attraction of the Moon and the Sun upon the water and upon the Earth itself. The force that causes tides in the water of the world’s oceans and seas is mostly due to the pull of the Moon’s gravity. This pull causes the water in the oceans and seas nearest to the Moon to bulge slightly. The sea water furthest from the Moon is pulled less than elsewhere, producing another bulge here as well. There are high tides where the two bulges are, and low tides in between. As the Earth turns on its axis, places move in and out of these bulges and their sea level rises and falls.
