Newtons law of gravitation formula

New cards
Acceleration due to gravity formula and derivation
W=mg
W=__GMm__
r2
therefore mg=__*GMm*__
r2
cancel little m ==g=__GM__==
==r2==
4
New cards
Moment of a force
about an axis is equal to the magnitude of the force multiplied by the perpendicular distance(from force to fulcrum) from the axis to the line of action of the force
5
New cards
Moment Formula (scalar quantity)
M=Fxd
6
New cards
Equilibrium
a body at complete rest whose resultant force is equal to zero
7
New cards
Conditions of equilibrium
the vector sum of the forces in any direction is zero
the sum of the moments at any point is zero
