Gravitational Force
Hello friends, in this blog you
will get to know about gravitational force. This force acts among all particles
of the universe. Its range is infinite. Gravitational force plays a very
important role in wide events of the universe like formation of stars and
galaxies and their development etc.
As you know there are four kinds
of forces in our nature- Gravitational force, electromagnetic force, weak
nuclear force and strong nuclear force. This is the universal force. Every particle
of nature feels the gravitational force. It is the weakest force of nature of
the nature but it affects the things which are far away. One more interesting
thing about gravitational force is that it is always attractive.
If you add up two things, you
will find the range of gravity higher. Suppose, the range of gravitational
force of the earth is R and another body has mass m[fig(1) & fig(2)]. So according to Newton’s law-
R'>R
Now we can see, the range becomes
greater after adding up the mass. You should notice that the force
will
become same for both conditions because the both go much further.
Well, according to quantum
physics, the particles that are responsible for gravitational force are called
gravitons. Gravitons have spin 2. Spin 2 is like a double headed arrow
[fig(3)]. It looks the same if one rotates in 180° angle. These particles are mass less. So they carry the force
further. Suppose, there are two bodies that are affecting each other due to
their gravity, it means that the gravitons are exchanging between them. Real
gravitons make up gravitational waves. We will discuss about it in any other
blog.
You know, gravitons are the only
particles of the four others that are not detected yet. We study about it
according to theories.
You should know that the
gravitational law of Newton has already been broken by Einstien’s general
theory of relativity. But we study this law in our syllabus because even today
this law works properly for general experiments.
I hope you may like the blog.
-Thank You
