Gravitational force

The scientific conceptualization of the term ‘Gravitation’ refers to the force applied on the objects while being on the surface of Earth by the virtue of which the weight of the object pulls it towards the ground on Earth. This force of attraction between two objects present on the surface of Earth, as well as the planetary objects of the universe is known as gravitational force. For example, If we illustrate the concept with a diagram, we must imagine two spheres that apply a gravitational force upon each other along the straight line joining the centers of them. The Universal nature of the laws of gravitation has scientific implications on the study of the motion and behavior of the objects in physics, and thus, we must understand the different fields of laws of gravitation such as gravitational force, acceleration due to gravity, and examples of gravitational force.

 Gravitational force:

The gravitational force has been defined by scientific researchers as the binding force that acts between the masses of two bodies interacting with each other in a physical environment. The gravity of Earth acts as a centripetal force while it interacts with the gravitational pull of the moon while rotating and revolving around the elliptical trajectories of the Sun. It must be carefully understood that the focal point of the large sphere-like structures, including planets such as Earth, Mars, Venus, etc., is the epicenter of the gravitational force that pulls the objects in motion towards the surface of the Earth. According to Newton’s universal law of gravitation, every object that contains mass in the universe is attracted by the neighboring bodies due to the interplay of the gravitational forces in the physical environment of the planets. The example of the difference in the quantum and nature of gravitational pull experienced by an object/person on the surface of the Moon, as compared to that on the surface of the Earth, has been measured to be almost six times greater due to the vast difference in the masses of the two planets. The gravitational constant (G) is a universal constant that is employed while calculating the nature and quantum of the gravitational force between two objects placed in the physical environment.

According to the mathematical formula regarding the calculation of relative density, the relative density of an object is equivalent to the quotient of the density of the substance and the density of water. Archimedes devised the flotation principle for objects when submerged in water by the findings of Newton on gravitation and universal laws of gravitation. The gravitational force has been defined by scientific researchers as the binding force that acts between the masses of two bodies interacting with each other in a physical environment. The gravity of Earth acts as a centripetal force while it interacts with the gravitational pull of the moon while rotating and revolving around the elliptical trajectories of the Sun.

Acceleration due to gravity

According to the Mathematical formula, The Force (F) is directly proportional to the Mass (M) and is indirectly proportional to the square of the distance (d) between two objects A1 and A2. The Gravitational Constant (G) is a universal constant that is employed while calculating the nature and quantum of the gravitational force between two objects placed in the physical environment. The acceleration generated by the effect of the gravitational force is calculated about two variables, which are Force (F) and distance (d). According to Kepler’s Principle, the orbit of the planetary movements can be measured by applying the Gravitational Constant (G) in the mathematical calculation of the distances and trajectories of the universal objects pulling towards each other.

 Moreover, the weight of any object/person as calculated on the surface of the Earth will be six times lesser if calculated on the surface of the moon. The centripetal and centrifugal forces come into play during the revolving motion of the moon around the center of the Earth, causing the masses to interact in the manner of exerting gravitational pull towards each other. This force of attraction between two objects present on the surface of Earth, as well as the planetary objects of the universe, is known as gravitational force. The measurement of the relative density of any object about the relative density of water is a scientific method to compare the potential of gravitational force acquired by the weight of an object in the physical environment.

 Relative density of a substance about water:

The measurement of the relative density of any object about the relative density of water is a scientific method to compare the potential of gravitational force acquired by the weight of an object in the physical environment. According to the mathematical formula regarding the calculation of relative density, the relative density of an object is equivalent to the quotient of the density of the substance and the density of water. Archimedes devised the flotation principle for objects when submerged in water by the findings of Newton on gravitation and universal laws of gravitation. 

He theorized that the buoyant force acts as an alternative for gravitational pull inside the surface of the water, by virtue of which the submerged objects feel lighter than their actual weight in water. The substances that possess a greater relative density than that of water are likely to sink into the vessel of water, whereas the substances that have a lesser relative density than that of water are likely to float on the surface of the water in the vessel. He conceptualized the theory of ‘buoyancy,’ which means that any object which is partially or completely immersed in water is having a huge tendency to experience an upwards force by the weight of the water in the vessel.

This article explains the basics of gravitational force and its example. The gravitational force has been defined by scientific researchers as the binding force that acts between the masses of two bodies interacting with each other in a physical environment. According to Newton’s universal law of gravitation, every object that contains mass in the universe is attracted by the neighboring bodies due to the interplay of the gravitational forces in the physical environment of the planets.
