which of the following would have a stronger gravitational pull towards a body, a lighter bt dense lead object or a heavier bt less denser copper object? (Im nt taking the same quantity in both the cases)
 
Physics news on Phys.org
how can it be the same quantity and one be lighter than the other?

makes no sense
 
im taking lead in a very small quantity and copper in a lot more. whose going to have more mass then
 
it depends on actual mass of object,greater the mass,the greater will be the gravitational pull,so yor answer is copper as it is massive than lead,gravitation pull does not depends on density
