Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the particles and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Lowercase g is the acceleration due to gravity, which relates the weight w of a body to its mass m: w = mg. The value of g is different at different locations on the earth's surface and on the surfaces of different planets. Lowercase g is the acceleration due to gravity, which relates the weight w of a body to its mass m: w = mg. The value of g is different at different locations on the earth's surface and on the surfaces of different planets. By contrast, capital G relates the gravitational force between any two bodies to their masses and the distance between them. Henry Cavendish measured the value of G in 1798. We call G a universal constant because it has the same value for any tow bodies, no matter where in space they are located.
We defined the weight of a body as the attractive gravitational force exerted on it by the earth. We defined the weight of a body as the attractive gravitational force exerted on it by the earth. The broaden definition of weight is: The weight of a body is the total gravitational force exerted on the body by all other bodies in the universe. When the body is near the surface of the earth, we can neglect all other gravitational forces and consider the weight as just the earth’s gravitational attraction. At the surface of the moon we consider a body’s weight to be the gravitational attraction of the moon, so on.
If we model the earth as a spherically symmetric body with radius RE and mass mE, the weight w of a small body of mass m at the earth’s surface is If we model the earth as a spherically symmetric body with radius RE and mass mE, the weight w of a small body of mass m at the earth’s surface is
Suppose we drill a hole through the earth (radius RE, mass mE) along a diameter and drop a mail pouch (mass m) down the hole. Derive an expression for the gravitational force on the pouch as a function of its distance r from the center. Assume that the density of the earth is uniform.

Gravity (and hence, weight) decreases as altitude rises outside Earth and also decrease as approaching the center of Earth and becomes zero at the center of Earth. Gravity (and hence, weight) decreases as altitude rises outside Earth and also decrease as approaching the center of Earth and becomes zero at the center of Earth.
The apparent weight of a body on earth differs slightly from the earth’s gravitational force because the earth rotates and is therefore not precisely an inertial frame of reference. The apparent weight of a body on earth differs slightly from the earth’s gravitational force because the earth rotates and is therefore not precisely an inertial frame of reference. We have used the fact that the earth is an approximately spherically symmetric distribution of mass. But this does not mean that the earth is uniform. In fact, the density of the earth decreases with increasing distance from its center.

To determine the gravitational potential energy of an object at a height that is way above the earth’s surface, we need to calculate work done by the gravitational force on the object and use equation: To determine the gravitational potential energy of an object at a height that is way above the earth’s surface, we need to calculate work done by the gravitational force on the object and use equation:
Gravitational potential energy depends on the distance r between the body of mass m and the center of the earth. When the body moves away from the earth, r increases, the gravitational force does negative work, and U increases (becomes less negative). When the body “falls” toward earth, r decreases, the gravitational work is positive, energy decreases (becomes more negative). Gravitational potential energy depends on the distance r between the body of mass m and the center of the earth. When the body moves away from the earth, r increases, the gravitational force does negative work, and U increases (becomes less negative). When the body “falls” toward earth, r decreases, the gravitational work is positive, energy decreases (becomes more negative). Note that U is relative. Only ∆U is significant.
