Laws of gravitation

what is the unit of radius of gyration

Statistically the radiation of gyration is the square root of the parts of an object from the center of gravity or a given axis, depending on the operating system. It is actually a perpendicular distance from point mass to rotation axis. One can represent the trace of a moving point like a body. Then the

What is Gravitational Field?

Newton’s Law of Gravitation tells us that the gravitational force (F), between two quantities or points of masses M and m, are separated by some distance r. This field acts along the line joining their centres, and is proportional to the masses. The gravitational field is also inversely proportional to the square of their distance.

Vector Form of Newton’s Law of Gravitation

In 1686, Newton stated that every single particle of matter attracts every other particle in the universe. This attractive universal force is called ‘gravitation’. Newton’s gravitational law was that the force of attraction between any two particles of material is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the particles and inversely proportional to

Variation of the value of ‘g’

What is acceleration due to gravity? Gravitational force is one of four fundamental forces. This force is attractive in nature and is very weak in magnitude for bodies that we encounter in our day-to-day life. Everybody on Earth experiences a strong gravitational force of attraction from the centre of Earth. This force is responsible for

Variation of g with Height

Every object in this universe attracts other objects with an invisible force of attraction called the force of gravitation. It is the weakest force in nature. The value of the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the two masses and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. History

Variation of ‘g’ with Depth

Everybody on Earth experiences a strong gravitational force of attraction from the centre of the Earth. This force is responsible for keeping bodies stuck on the surface of the Earth. As you know, acceleration due to gravity has a value of 9.81 m/s2. But this value of gravitational acceleration is not constant over the surface

Universal law of gravitation

The universal law of gravitation was put forth by Sir Isaac Newton in 1687. The inspiration to develop the law came to Isaac Newton after he saw an apple fall from a tree. This article will discuss the weight and the gravitational force, universality of gravity, and gravitational constant. The universal law of gravitation The
