Gravitation

The document discusses the principles of gravitation, including Newton's law of gravitation, the variation of gravitational force due to height and depth, and the effects of Earth's rotation on gravity. It provides equations for gravitational force, acceleration due to gravity, and work done in moving objects in gravitational fields. Key concepts such as central forces, conservative forces, and the independence of gravitational force from the medium are also highlighted.
