The force of attraction between two bodies of masses , and and separated by distance r is given by Newton's universal law of gravitation i.e.,where, G is the universal constant in nature. This force is known as gravitational force. The gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. All bodies fall with the same acceleration due to gravity whatever their masses have. i.e., (where M = Mass of the earth, R = Radius of the earth) and from the equation it is clear that, acceleration due to gravity (i.e., g) depends only on mass of the earth, the radius of the earth
