Gravitation Pyq Nsejs

Newton deduced the inverse square law of gravitation by using Kepler's laws of planetary motion. The force experienced by each mass placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of sides r is Gm. The percentage change in acceleration due to gravity at an altitude equal to the radius of the earth compared to that on the surface of the earth is a 25% decrease. The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of a neutron star of radius 10 km and mass 1.5 solar masses is nearly 2.6 x 1012 m/s2.
