Universal Gravitation

What Is the Law of Universal Gravitation? The law of universal gravitation allows you to calculate the gravitational force between two objects from their masses and the distance between them. The law includes gravitational constant G. This value is the same everywhere in the universe. We can use this law calculating the force between small objects like grapefruits or huge objects like planets.

The Law of Universal Gravitation

Cavendish Experiment Cavendish's apparatus for experimentally determining the value of G involved a light, rigid rod about 2-feet long..

CavendishExperiment Two small lead spheres were attached to the ends of the rod and the rod was suspended by a thin wire. When the rod becomes twisted, the torsion of the wire begins to exert a torsional force that is proportional to the angle of rotation of the rod. Cavendish then brought two large lead spheres near the smaller spheres attached to the rod. Since all masses attract, the large spheres exerted a gravitational force upon the smaller spheres and twisted the rod a measurable amount. Once the torsional force balanced the gravitational force, the rod and spheres came to rest and Cavendish was able to determine the gravitational force of attraction between the masses. By measuring m 1, m 2, d and F grav, the value of G could be determined. Cavendish's measurements resulted in an experimentally determined value of 6.75 x N m 2 /kg 2. Today, the currently accepted value is x N m 2 /kg 2

Effects of Mass and Distance on Gravitational Force

Universal Gravitation Example: A very massive object and a less massive object move toward each other and under influence of mutual gravitation. Which force is greater ? The Answer: Both forces are the same.
