In the particle model the centre of the circle lies outside the particle, and we speak of orbital motion.Later we shall apply the same principles to the rotation or spin of extended objects about axes within themselves.
Any particle travelling at constant speed around a circle is engaged in uniform circular motion.

As in xyz-coordinate system, the r-, t-, and z-axes are mutually perpendicular.The rtz-coordinate system is used only to resolve vector quantities associated with circular motion into radial and tangential components. The measurement of these quantities must necessarily take place in other reference frames.Given some vector in the plane of motion, making an angle of with the r-axis, Ar = A cos

NEWTON’S LAW OF UNIVERSAL GRAVITATIONAny two particles in the universe exert a mutually attractive force on each other which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance of their separation.

G is the universal gravitation constant.G = 6.67 10–11 N m2/kg2.The equation holds for extended spherical masses (e.g. planets) provided r, the distance between their centres, is large compared to their sizes.

To date, however, the most precise experiments have been unable to determine any measurable difference between the two.
INERTIAL and GRAVITATIONAL MASSThe connection between inertial mass (found by meas-uring a body’s acceleration a in response to a force F) and the gravitational mass which causes two bodies to attract each other is not immediately apparent…
Einstein’s general theory of relativity explains this principle of equivalence (minert = mgrav) as a fundamental property of space-time.

ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITYWe are now in a position to understand why the measured value of g = 9.80 m/s2 is less than the value we calculated from Newton’s law of universal gravitation (g = 9.83 m/s2).Objects on the rotating Earth are in circular motion, so there must be a net force towards the centre. Thus wapp = mgapp = n < Fgrav.
At mid-latitudes the reduction is about 0.03 m/s2, hence the measured value gapp = 9.80 m/s2.
