Question

Why don't you feel a gravitational force from the text book you're reading?

Expert Solution

Step 1

according to newton law if gravitation

every object exerts gravitational force on the other object

if the mass of 1 object is m and other is M and botb are separated by distance d

then gravitational force b/w them is given by

F = GmM/d²

where

G = univarsal gravitation const = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm²/kg²
