Solutions

Expert Solution

The force of attraction between the two bodies is called gravitation.The force of attraction may be in any of the two objects in this universe.

Statement: Newton's law of gravitation or universal law of gravitation states that Every body in this universe attracts every body with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and is inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Mathematical F is directly proportional m1× m2

F is inversely proportional to the R^2

Then F = G m1×m2÷R^2

Where F is force of gravitation

m1 and m2 are masses of two bodies

R is the distance between them.

The force of attraction between two bodies is called force of gravitation.
