Derive the formula for the universal law of gravitation.
Newton's law of universal gravitation:
Newton's law of gravitation, states that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle in the universe with a force varying directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between the particles.
$F\propto m_1.m_2$
And $F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}$
Therefore, $F\propto\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}$
Or $F=G\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}$, Where $G$ is constant whose value is $6.67\times10^{-11}$.
Let $m$ be the mass of an object and $M$ be the mass of the earth and $g$ be the gravity.
Then weight$=mg$
$mg=G\frac{mM}{r^2}
Or $g=G\frac{M}{r^2}$.
