Weighing a stone of lower mass and another of higher mass by using a spring balance.
[Mass of a body is the amount of matter contained in it]
On the basis of these observations, find out the factor that influences the force of attraction from the earth.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
The factor is mass
• As the distance between the bodies increases gravitational force decreases
• Another factor which influences the gravitational force is distance between the objects.
