What is gravitational force?


Open in App
Solution

Definition

The gravitational force would be described as a force of attraction (attractive force) that attracts all physical forms having mass.

It is by far the weakest recognized natural force.

Mathematical representation

Mathematically, gravitational force can be represented as:

F=Gm1m2r2

Here,

F is the gravitational force.

G is the universal gravitational constant.

m1 is the first body's mass.

m2 is the second body's mass.

r is the distance between the two bodies.

Therefore, the gravitational force seems to be the universal attractive force that exists across all stuff.
