Does length contraction occur in gravitational fields

[manvirsingh]

1 does length contraction occur in gravitational fields

2 what is the equation of gravitational length contraction

3 what are the units of measuring mass not weight

 

[Simon Bridge]

1. yes (srsly: you cannot google "gravitational length contraction"?)

2.
$$ds=\left ( <br /> 1-\frac{2GM}{c^2r}<br /> \right )^{-1/2}dr$$

3. SI units for mass is "kilograms" (for weight it is "Newtons")
