Assertion: Newton’s law of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force of attraction that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.Reason: Law of gravitation is analogous to magnetic force between the moving
Acceleration due to gravityThe acceleration for any object moving under the sole influence of gravity is known as acceleration due to gravity. So, for an object of mass `m,` the acceleration experienced by it is usually denoted by the symbol g which is related to F by Newton’s second law by relation `F= mg`. Thus,`g=F/m=(GM_e)/(r_e^2)`Acceleration `g` is readily measurable as `R_e` is a known quantity. The measurement of `G` by Cavendish’s experiment (or otherwise), combined with knowledge of `g and R_e` enables one to estimate `M_e` from the above equation. This is the reason why there is a popular statement
