[QUOTE="gerhard1, post: 3057108, member: 5391"] There's a simple formula for calculating the force of gravitational attraction between two objects where the mass of both is known as well as the distance between them. [IMG]https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/1fe83eb599546915c9fc39ef6f25ee9221b05288[/IMG] G is the gravitational constant and I forget what it is. Then two 'm's' are the masses (weight) of the objects and 'r' is the distance between the centers of the objects. It looks more complicated then it is, especially in these days of electronic calculators. When I was in college we used slide rules. All we had to do was a bunch of cancelling out and then it was a simple matter of arithmetic. I used to amuse myself by calculating the force of attraction between me and various co-eds. [/QUOTE]
