1.Newton's law of gravitation states that every body in this universe attracts every other body with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and is inversely proportional to the squares of the distance between them.
This force depends upon the masses of the bodies which attracts each other and the distance between them.  
According to Newton' law of gravitation :
F = Gm1m2r2where G is a gravitational constant = 6.67 X 10-11Nm2kg-2The dimensional formula for G is [M-1L3T-2]
Thus, universal gravitational constant is equal to the force of attraction acting between two bodies each of unit mass, whose centre are placed unit distance apart.
3. Variation of g with depth (d) is given by :
g' = g(1- dR)
​where R is the radius of earth.
At centre of earth, d = R
Hence, at centre of earth, the value of acceleration due to gravity (g) is zero.

1. (i) Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every point mass in the universe attracts every other point mass with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. 

(ii) The gravitational constant denoted by letter G, is an empirical physical constant involved in the calculation(s) of gravitational force between two bodies. 

2. gravitational acceleration is the acceleration on an object caused by gravity. Neglecting friction such as air resistance, all small bodies accelerate in a gravitational field at the same rate relative to the center of mass.

 

Friend you are very curious man. I can't give you the all answers. Everything is simply given on our NCERT books. But I want to suggest you that "Pradeep Books" are best for XI physics.

Newton's law of gravitaion states that every body in the universe attracts evry other body by an attractive force which is directly proportional to the product of the massess of the bodies and is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

8. (a) Law of orbits- All planets revolve around the sun in an elliptical orbit with sun at one of its focii.

(b) Law of area- It states that the line joining the centre of sun and centre of planet sweeps out equal area at equal intervals of time i.e. aerial velocity of planet remains constant.

(c) Law of timeperiods- It states that the square of timeperiod of a planet around the sun is directly proportional to the cube of average distance between the sun and planet.
