Explanation:
The law of universal gravitation was discovered by Newton in 1686. According to this law:
“Every object in this universe attracts other body with a force, which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.”
Consider two bodies ‘A’ and ‘B’ having masses ‘m1’ and ‘m2’, respectively. They are placed with their centers at distance ‘r’ from each other.
According to this law, force is directly proportional to the product of their masses, that is:
Also, the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, that is:
On combining both equations we get:
Where ‘G’ is called ‘Gravitational Constant’ and its value is 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg².
