Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is any two bodies having some mass.
Explanation:
- The Universal Law of gravitation was formulated by Sir Isaac Newton.
- Law of Universal Gravitation: It states that all objects attract each other with a force that is proportional to the masses of two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates their centers.
-
It is given mathematically as follows:
\(F = \frac{Gm_1m_2}{R^2}\)
Where m1 and m2 are the mass of two objects, G is the gravitational constant and R is the distance between their centers.
- The gravitational constant G establishes a relationship between gravitational force, mass, and distance.
- The value of G is 6.67 × 10-11 N kg-2 m2.
- It is a universal law that applies to any two bodies in the universe that have mass, not just limited to specific pairs of objects like the Earth and the Sun or the Earth and a point mass.
