FORCE
GRAVITATIONAL
The expression of the Gravitational Force exerted by the Earth on an object having mass "m"
and which is at a distance "r" from the center of the Earth, is given by:
g(1)=
g(r) =
GMmr
R²

R²
GMm
where G is Universal Gravitational Constant (equivalent to 6.67 x 10-11 [Nm²/Kg²]), R is the
radius of the Earth (6,400 kms) and M is mass of Earth equivalent to 5.97 x 1024 kg.
