Question

What is a force of attraction between an object and the earth due to gravity?

Answer 1

Newton's law of gravitation says that the force due to gravitation between two objects with masses m₁ and m₁ is given by the formula

`F=G(m_1m_2)/(r^2)`

Where r is the distance between the objects, and G is the gravitational constant (about 6.674×10⁻¹¹ m³⋅kg⁻¹⋅s⁻²)
