Using Newton's universal law of gravitation & second law of motion,find the mathematical expression for acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth..
Pls answer experts fast
Dear Student,
Consider an object of mass m lying on or near the surface of the the planet.
According to Newton's law of gravitation, the force of attraction (F) between the planet and the object is
F=GMm/R2 ...............1
According to Newton's second law of motion this force produces an acceleration (g) in the object.
F = ma (a = g)
F = mg
put value of F in equation 1
mg=GMm/R2
g=GM/R2
where
g=gravity on the planet in m/s2
G=gravitational constant
M=mass of the planet
R=radius of planet
