How to Calculate Gravitational Force

Calculate gravitational force between two masses.

The Formula

F = Gm₁m₂/r²

The gravitational force formula uses the mathematical relationship: F = Gm₁m₂/r². Each variable in the formula represents a measurable quantity that affects the final result.

Step-by-Step Method

  1. 1Identify all input values needed for the gravitational force calculation.
  2. 2Substitute your known values into the formula: F = Gm₁m₂/r².
  3. 3Perform the arithmetic operations in the correct order (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
  4. 4Check that your result has the correct units and is within a reasonable range.
  5. 5Verify using the interactive Gravitational Force Calculator to confirm your answer.
