GRAVITATION VS GRAVITY

Force of attraction acting Earth’s gravitational

between any two bodies pull on a body
Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation
 

F
  = universal gravitational constant= 6.67
G
( obtained from experiments)

F=G
 
1) ON EARTH’S SURFACE
 
Newton’s 2nd Law ,F= mg
Newton’s universal law of
gravitation, F = G
• On Earth surface
1=2
mg= G
g=
2) BELOW EARTH’S SURFACE
 1) Density =
M = density
=  π
=  π
2) On surface of earth
g= = G
g= RG …………..(a)
3) At object position m’= mass of Earth on object’s position
m’= π
g’== G
g’=G
4)= = =
=

 g’ = g
So, g’
2) ABOVE EARTH’S SURFACE
 1) On surface of earth
g= ……………..(a)
2) Above Earth’s surface
mg’ = G
g’= …………….(b)

3) = =
=
=
g’ = g

g’, if r >R
 
Obtained results:
(1) g= (2) g’ r (3) g’ , if r >R
