Abstract
We study the modification of Newton's second law, upto first order in the deformation parameter , in the -space-time. We derive the deformed Hamiltonian, expressed in terms of the commutative phase space variables, describing the particle moving in a central potential in the -space-time. Using this, we find the modified equations of motion and show that there is an additional force along the radial direction. Using Pioneer anomaly data, we set a bond as well as fix the sign of . We also analyse the violation of equivalence principle predicted by the modified Newton's equation, valid up to first order in and use this also to set an upper bound on .
