Discuss how Einstein's theory of gravitation reduces to Newton's in the limit of weak fields. Your answer should include discussion of: (a) the field equations; (b) the motion of a point particle; (c) the motion of a pressureless fluid.
[The metric in a weak gravitational field, with Newtonian potential , may be taken as
The Riemann tensor is
