    The downward pull of gravity is called gravitational force, which exists between all objects due to their mass. Gravitational force strength depends on the masses and distance between objects. Gravitational field strength 'g' measures the weight in Newtons of 1 kg mass, which is 10 N/kg on Earth. To calculate weight, the formula is Weight = mass x g, and using this the weights are calculated as 620 N for a 62 kg person, 500 N for a 50 kg cow, and 10 N for a 1 kg book.

    Gravitational force: The downward pull of gravity is called gravitational force.

    All objects with masses have


    gravitational attraction between them but most are very small and hence are not noticeable. The greater the mass of
    an object the stronger it’s gravitational pull of attraction and the closer two objects are the stronger the pull.
    Another name for gravitational force is weight which is measured in Newtons.

    Gravitational field strength: Gravitational field strength or ‘g’ is the amount of Newtons one kilogram of mass weighs.
    Its unit is Newton per kg (N/kg) and on Earth the ‘g’ is 10 N/kg.

    Formula: Weight = mass x g

    Find the weight of the following objects:

    1. A person of mass 62 kg.


    2. A cow of mass 50 kg.
    3. A book of mass 1 kg.
