Question
Law of gravitation gives the gravitational force between(a) the earth and a point mass only(b) the earth and Sun only(c) any two bodies having some mass(d) two charged bodies only
Solution
The law of gravitation, also known as Newton's law of universal gravitation, states that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. This law applies to any two bodies having some mass. Therefore, the correct answer is (c) any two bodies having some mass.
