Dimension of force of gravity is​

Sagot :

Answer:

[tex]M^{-1}L^{3}T^{-2}[/tex]

Explanation:

Force has the unit N for Newton.

A Newton is [tex]m*\frac{kg}{s^{2} }[/tex] , mass*kilograms/seconds^2.

Dimensions in Physics include things such as Mass, Length, and Time.

kg is Mass

m is Length

s^2 is Time

So, since a Newton has all of these, it has T, L, and M. Force has dimensions  [tex]T^{-2}LM[/tex]

However, you must now consider gravitational force.

Law of Gravitation states:

[tex]F=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}r }{r^{2} }[/tex]

Convert that into a fraction with dimensions:

[tex]F=\frac{GM^{2} L}{L^{2} }[/tex]

Remember force is  [tex]T^{-2}LM[/tex]

Use the dimensions of force to find gravitational force, or G:

[tex]F=\frac{GM^{2} L}{L^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]T^{-2}LM=\frac{GM^{2} L}{L^{3} }[/tex]

[tex]G=\frac{(T^{-2}LM)(L^{2}) }{M*M}[/tex]

[tex]G=\frac{(T^{-2}L^{3} M) }{M^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]G=M^{-1}L^{3}T^{-2}[/tex]
