The gravitational force between two bodies is directly proportional to the product of the masses of those bodies and is ______ of the distance between them.
Give the applications of universal law gravitation.
The force of gravitation between two bodies of mass 1 kg each separated by a distance of 1 m in vacuum is ____________.
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).
