Talking Re: Question On Gravitational Force

ok, lets calculate:

For mass 100kg : the answer is
3.987300564e12

For mass 1kg : the anser is
3.987300564e10

Hence we can say, for small masses we can safely assume the Force to be equal. But for masses greater then about 3/4th of earths we can take it in consideration (This is mine hypothesis...dont know for sure when we take smaller mass in calculations)

Good Q though Biggie
Think Simple!


The hypothesis that you presented isn't true (or do we have Newton Jr. on CE? ).

Actually, the answer is very simple. I'll wait for some more time before posting the answer.

Btw, try asking the same question to your friends and see how they react

All the best!
