Formula Sheet — Gravitation

Important formulas and equations from Gravitation for BITSAT Physics.

Formulas — Gravitation

Universal Law of Gravitation

F = GMm/r²
g = GM/R²

Kepler's Laws

T² ∝ R³ or T² = (4π²/GM)R³

Variation of g

g(h) = g(1 - 2h/R) for h << R
g(d) = g(1 - d/R)
g_λ = g - Rω²cos²λ

Gravitational Potential Energy

U = -GMm/r
ΔU = mgh for h << R
