acc to Newtons gravitational theory f=GmM/r^2
and the distance r is taken from the centre of mass of the object
so hypothetically if there was a flat rectangular planet gravity would be highest at the centre of the rectangular planet and if we stand away from the center gravitational pull should decrease
is this true
it doesn't sound right bcuz i thought if we stand anyware on the flat surface
we wud experience the same gravitational force
