Gravitation Theorem vs. Shell Theorem. Conic Proof.

Authors: Wolfgang Westenberger

SUMMARY. The gravitation theorem is based on Newton's Gravitation Law and takes into account that each gravitational object does exert gravitation starting from its very position. The Shell Theorem, on the other hand, sums up all positions of gravitational objects, thus calculations of gravitation are made easier. A spherically symmetric body of equal density can be modelled as an infinite number of cones within a globe, starting from a point A upon the radius of the globe. If one of these cones can be treated as a point mass (i.e. as a single gravitation point), then a system of cones in the shape of a sphere can also be treated as a point mass.
