    Question

    What is the formula for the force of attraction (F) between two objects of masses M and m which lie at a distance d from each other, where G is the constant of proportionality called as universal gravitation constant?

    A.

    F = G ( M x m ) / d

    B.

    F = G ( M x m ) / d²

    C.

    F = G x d² / M x m

    D.

    F = G x d / M x m

    Correct option is B

    The correct answer is (b) .
    Formula Explanation: The formula for the gravitational force of attraction F between two masses M and mmm separated by a distance d is given by:
    F=
    Where:
    · F is the gravitational force between the two objects.
    · G is the universal gravitational constant (6.674×Nm2/kg2).
    · M and mmm are the masses of the two objects.
    · d is the distance between the centers of the two masses.
    Information Booster:
    · Inverse Square Law: The force decreases with the square of the distance between the objects, making gravitational attraction weaker as the distance increases.
    · Universal Gravitational Constant (G): GGG is a constant that applies universally, reflecting the weak nature of gravitational force compared to other fundamental forces.
    · Newton’s Law of Gravitation: This formula is derived from Newton's law of universal gravitation, which explains the gravitational attraction between two masses.
