• NEWTON’S UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION
GRAVITATION
NEWTON’S UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION
EVERY OBJECT IN THE UNIVERSE ATTRACTS EACH OTHER
WITH A FORCE WHICH IS
1. PROPORTIONAL TO THE PRODUCT OF THEIR MASSES
2. INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO SQUARE OF THE
DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM
UNIVERSAL GRAVITATIONAL CONSTANT
UNIVERSAL GRAVITATIONAL CONSTANT
The force of attraction between two bodies of unit mass
each and placed unit distance apart is called the
universal gravitational constant.
UNIVERSAL GRAVITATIONAL CONSTANT
EVIDENCES IN SUPPORT OF LAW OF GRAVITATION
GRAVITY
• Gravity is a particular case of
Gravitation.
• Gravity is the phenomenon of
attraction between the earth and
any other body.
ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY
ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY
Weight of the body = Gravitational force acting on the
body
VARIATION IN ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY
1) Shape of the earth
2) Altitude
3) Depth
4) Rotation of the earth
