Gravitational Force Formula

Gravitational force can be represented as follows

Fundamental Forces

where,

  • Fg is the gravitational force
  • G is the universal gravitational constant
  • m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects in consideration
  • r is the distance between the centres of the two objects in consideration

Gravitational Force of Earth

The gravitational force of the earth is 9.807 m/s2.

Gravitational Force Examples

  • The revolving of the moon around the earth is due to gravitational attraction between them.
  • The formation of tides in the ocean is due to the gravitational force acting between the earth and the moon.
