Is there a gravitational force between two objects kept on a table or between you and your friend sitting next to you ? If yes, why don't the two move towards each other ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes. Two objects kept on a table do not move towards each other because there is a force of fricition between each object and the table. Similarly, because there is a force of friction between out body and athe floor , we (myself and my friend) do not move towards each other.
