  • Earth's Gravitational Force: Formula, Calculation & Constant
    The gravitational force exerted by the Earth is given by the equation:

    $$F = Gm_1m_2/r^2$$

    Where:

    - F is the gravitational force in Newtons (N)

    - G is the gravitational constant = 6.674 × 10^-11 N(m/kg)^2

    - m1 is the mass of the first object in kilograms (kg)

    - m2 is the mass of the second object in kilograms (kg)

    - r is the distance between the centers of the two objects in meters (m)

    In the case of the Earth, m1 is the mass of the Earth, which is approximately 5.972 × 10^24 kg.
