Newton’s Law of Universal


Gravitation
Gravitation is
the mtual force
between any
two objects in
the universe.
The law of universal gravitation
states that “ every object in the
universe attracts another object with
a force that is directly proportional to
the product of the masses of the two
objects and inversely proportional to
the square of distance between the
centers of the two objects.”

SAMPLE PROBLEM 1

Calculate the gravitational force between two persons,


65 kg and 40 kg, when they are 3 meters apart. Assume that
the persons are spheres (an unrealistic assumption) to
facilitate easier calculation.
