What To Do
1. Stand on a bathroom scale. The number you see in the scale is your mass either
in kilos or pounds (or both). The weighing scale is able to report your mass by
sensing the support force that it needs to exert on you.
2. Now get another weighing scale and have one under each foot. Stand upright and
note the readings. What happened to you weight? Does it increased or decreased?
3. Now lean a bit to your right side. What happened to the readings? Lean to your left
side. Did the reading change again?
C. Explanation

GRAVITATIONAL FORCES
Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation is used to explain gravitational force.
This law states that every massive particle in the universe attracts every other
massive particle with a force which is directly proportional to the product of
their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between
38
them. This general, physical law was derived from observations made by
induction. Another way, more modern, way to state the law is: ‘every point
mass attracts every single other point mass by a force pointing along the line
intersecting both points. The force is proportional to the product of the two
masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the
point masses’.
Gravitational force surrounds us. It is what decides how much we weigh and
how far a basketball will travel when thrown before it returns to the surface.
The gravitational force on Earth is equal to the force the Earth exerts on you.
At rest, on or near the surface of the Earth, the gravitational force equals your
weight. On a different astronomical body like Venus or the Moon, the
acceleration of gravity is different than on Earth, so if you were to stand on a
scale, it would show you that you weigh a different amount than on Earth.
When two objects are gravitational locked, their gravitational force is centered
in an area that is not at the center of either object, but at the very center of the
system. The principle is similar to that of a see-saw. If two people of very
different weights sit on opposite sides of the balance point, the heavier one
must sit closer to the balance point so that they can equalize each other’s
mass. For instance, if the heavier person weighs twice as much as the lighter
one, they must sit at only half the distance from the fulcrum. The balance
point is the center of mass of the see-saw, just as the barycenter is the
balance point of the Earth-Moon system. This point that actually moves
around the Sun in the orbit of the Earth, while the Earth and Moon each move
around the barycenter, in their orbits.
Each system in the galaxy, and presumably, the universe, has a barycenter.
The push and pull of the gravitational force of the objects is what keeps
everything in space from crashing into one another.
We have written many articles about gravitational force for Universe Today.
Here’s an article about gravity in space, and here’s an article about
the discovery of gravity.
