What is the formula for gravitational force?
GeneralClass 12AllAnswered 27 Mar 2026
Answer
The gravitational force formula is expressed as F = G × (m₁ × m₂) / r², where F is the gravitational force between two objects, G is the gravitational constant (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²), m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between their centers. This formula, developed by Isaac Newton, calculates the attractive force between any two objects with mass in the universe.
