•
An external force under normal circumstancesaffects all objects
•
It should be the first external force to beconsidered acting on human body
•
Force of gravity is the pull of earth on a bodyor its segments
•
Described as mutual attraction between theearth and an object
•
Gravitational force is always directed towardsthe centre of earth which is towards theground
 
 
•
Gravity is the most consistent force encountered by the human body and behaves in a predictablemanner 
•
Gravity being a force is a vector quantityPoint of application: COGLine of application:Centre of mass of objectDirection :Towards centre of the earthMagnitude:Equal to Gravitational Force
•
Magnitude of gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the two masses andinversely proportional to square of the distance between them
Fg=gm1m2/r²
 
 
•
Although gravity acts at all points on anobject or segment of an object,itsapplication is given as
Centre of Gravity
(COG)
•
Center of Gravity is also referred as centreof Mass
