Question
How will the force of gravitation between two objects change if the distance between them is:
Infinite
Advertisements
Solution
We know that law of gravitation.
F = G ( m1 X m2)/R2.
If distance between them is infinite then put R = infinite.
F = G( m1 X m2)/ R2.
F1 = 0.

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).
