Relationship between g and G

Let \rm g be the acceleration due to gravity at a planet ( or satellite) of mass \rm M and radius \rm R . By Newton's law of motion, the force \rm Fdue to gravity on a body of mass \rm mon its surface will be

\quad \rm F = mass\times acceleration\ due \ to \ gravity

\rm or \qquad F = mg\qquad ...[1]

By Newton's gravitational law, this attractive force is given by,

\qquad \rm F = \dfrac{GMm}{R^2} \qquad ...[2]

From equations [1] and [2]

\qquad \rm mg=\dfrac{GMm}{R^2}

or

\bullet\qquad \rm g= \dfrac{GM}{R^2}\qquad ...[3]

The above equation [3] relates the acceleration due to gravity g with the gravitational force constant G. Obviously, the value of g on a planet (or satellite) depends on the mass and radius of that planet (or satellite).

Example:-

Taking the mass of earth \rm M = 5.96 \times 10^{24} kg and the radius of earth \rm R=6.37\times 10^6 \ m, the acceleration due to gravity at a place on the surface of the earth comes out to be

\rm g_{earth} = \dfrac{(6.67\times 10^{-11}) \times (5.96 \times 10^{24})}{(6.37\times 10^6)^2} = 9.8 \ m \ s^{-2}

Note:- The value of \rm g varies from place to place.

Hope it helps...
