Solution
Gravitational Force is the weakest among all the four fundamental forces because of the Gravitational constant.
The universal Gravitational constant has a tiny value, as compared to the value of the electrostatic constant in a vacuum. As given by Newton, the formula for force between two masses can be given by F=GMmR2while the Coulomb’s force between two electrically charged bodies is given byF=KQqR2 and we all know that the value of G (6.67×10−11)is quite less than that of K(9×109).this is a preliminary explanation of the weakness of the Gravitational force with respect to the Electromagnetic force.
