    The document discusses key concepts related to gravitation including Newton's law of gravitation, importance of the universal law of gravitation, free fall and calculating the value of 'g', equations of motion for constant gravitational acceleration, mass and weight, weight of an object on the moon, thrust and pressure, pressure in fluids, buoyancy, Archimede's principle, and relative density. Some key points covered are that Newton grasped that the same force responsible for objects falling is also responsible for planetary motion, his law states gravitational force is proportional to product of masses and inversely proportional to square of distance, and Archimede's principle states buoyant force equals weight of fluid displaced.

    GRAVITATION

    INTRODUCTION TO
    GRAVITATION
    We have learnt that a force is
    needed to change the speed or
    direction of motion of an object.
    We know that an object dropped
    from a height falls towards the
    Earth, all the planets go around
    the Sun, the Moon goes around the
    Earth, in all these cases there must be some force acting on the
    objects, the planets and the moon. Issac Newton grasp that the
    some force is responsible for all these .This force is called as
    gravitational force.
    NEWTON’S LAW OF GRAVITATION
    Every object in the universe attracts every other object
    which is proportional to the product of their masses and
    inversely proportional to the square of the distance
    between them . The force is along the line joining the
    centres of two objects
    IMPORTANCE OF UNIVERSAL LAW OF
    GRAVITATION
    • 1. The force that binds us to the Earth.
    • 2.The motion of the Moon around the Earth.
    • 3.The motion of the planets around the Sun.
    • 4.The tides due to the Moon and the Sun.
    FREE FALL , TO CALCULATE THE VALUE OF ‘g’

    EQUATIONS OF MOTION ( FOR CONSTANT
    GRAVITATIONAL ACCELERATION )

    MASS AND WEIGHT
    Mass :
    The quantity of matter contained in
    the body is called its mass. Its SI unit
    is kilogram . The mass of an object is
    constant everywhere.
    Weight :
    The force with which a body is attracted by the earth is known as
    the weight of the body . Its SI unit is newton ( N ). It varies place to
    place . Its value becomes zero at the centre of earth . We know that
    F = ma = mg this force is known as the weight of the body denoted
    by W so W = mg , it acts vertically downwards, it is a vector quantity
    WEIGHT OF AN OBJECT ON THE MOON
    •
    THRUST AND PRESSURE
    • Thrust :
    • The perpendicular force acting on the surface of a body is called
    thrust . The SI unit of thrust is N .
    • Pressure :
    • The thrust acting per unit area of a body is called pressure acting
    on it . Pressure = thrust / area.
    • Its SI unit is pascal .
    • The same force acting on a smaller area
    exerts a larger pressure and smaller
    pressure on a larger area .
    PRESSURE IN FLUIDS
    All liquids and gases are fluids. A solid exerts pressure on a surface
    due to its weight . Similarly fluids have weight and they also exert
    pressure on the base and walls of the container in which they are
    closed . Pressure exerted in any contained mass of fluid is
    transmitted undiminished in all directions .
    BUOYANCY

    • When a body is immersed in a fluid it experiences


    an up thrust force ( buoyant force ) , this
    phenomenon of fluid is called as buoyancy . This
    buoyant force tending to counter balance the
    weight of this body acting vertically downward .
    WHY OBJECTS FLOAT OR SINK WHEN
    PLACED ON A SURFACE OF WATER ?
    If the buoyant force is greater then weight
    then a body floats and vice versa, like a
    rubber cork floats whereas a iron nail sinks .
    ARCHIMEDE’S PRINCIPLE

    When a body is immersed fully or partially in a


    fluid it experiences an upward force that is
    equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it .
    Up thrust force or buoyant force = weight of
    fluid displaced by a body = (weight of body in air
    - weight of body in fluid)
    RELATIVE DENSITY
    • Relative density of a substance is defined
    as the ratio of the density of the
    substance to the density of water .

    • Relative density = density of


    substance / density of water .
    • It has no unit .
    • Relative density > 1 : A body sinks.
    • R D < 1 : A body floats .
    • R D = 1 : A body just floats.
