Gravitational Force Calculator

This page provides insight into determining the gravitational force of an object and provides some functions to help you calculate it!
CalculationHere are the variables for the equation
F = the gravitational force friction.
G = the gravitational constant.
M = the mass of the first object.
m = the mass of the second object.
R = the distance between the centres of the two objects.
Inputs﻿﻿Gravitational constant, G
:0.00​
﻿
﻿﻿Mass, M
:500,000.00kg​
﻿
﻿﻿Mass, m
:100,000.00kg​
﻿
﻿﻿Distance b/w objects, R
:4.00m​
﻿
Output﻿﻿Gravitational Force, F
:0.21N​
﻿
﻿
F=G⋅M⋅mR2F=\frac{G\cdot M\cdot m}{R^2}F=R2G⋅M⋅m​
ExplanationThe gravitational force is the force that pulls two objects towards one another. The attraction between two objects depends on the mass of the objects and the distance between them.
