Question

Assertion : The principle of superposition is not valid for gravitational force.
Reason : Gravitational force is a conservative force.

✓

Answer

(e) The total gravitational force on one particle due to number of particles is the resultant force of attraction (or gravitational force) exerted on the given particle due to individual particles. i.e., $\quad \vec{F}=\overrightarrow{F_1}+\overrightarrow{F_2}+\overrightarrow{F_3}+\ldots$ it means the principle of superposition is valid.
