Derive the formula of gravitational force using the factors on which it depends.

Answers (1)

best_answer

Force of gravitational attraction is directly dependent upon the masses of both objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates their centers. Newton's conclusion about the magnitude of gravitational forces is summarized symbolically as - 

\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ F_{\operatorname{gar}} \propto \frac{m_{1} \times m_{2}}{d^{2}} \\ where \ F_{\text {gav }}$ represents the force of gravity between two objects \\ $\propto$ means "proportional to" \\ $m _{1}$ represents the mass of chject 1 \\ $m _{2}$ represents the mass of object 2 \\ d represents the distance separating the objects' centers
