उत्तर
`"F" ∝ ("Gm"_1"m"_2)/"r"^2`
Here G is a constant of proportionality called the universal gravitational constant.

What happens to the force between two objects, if the masses of both objects are doubled?
Answer the following:
You can shield a charge from electrical forces by putting it inside a hollow conductor. Can you shield a body from the gravitational influence of nearby matter by putting it inside a hollow sphere or by some other means?
If you compare the gravitational force on the Earth due to the Sun to that due to the Moon, you would find that the Sun’s pull is greater than the Moon’s pull. (You can check this yourself using the data available in the succeeding exercises). However, the tidal effect of the Moon’s pull is greater than the tidal effect of Sun. Why?
Can two particles be in equilibrium under the action of their mutual gravitational force? Can three particles be? Can one of the three particles be?
How will the force of gravitation between two objects change if the distance between them is:

At what height above the earth's surface would the value of acceleration due to gravity be half of what it is on the surface? Take the radius of earth to be R.
Explain why:
The atmosphere does not escape.
Three uniform spheres, each having mass m and radius r, are kept in such a way that each touches the other two. The magnitude of the gravitational force on any sphere due to the other two is
