How many times nuclear force is greater than gravitational f

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on comparing the strengths of nuclear and gravitational forces. It emphasizes that force requires a charge to act upon, with gravity acting on mass and the nuclear force binding nucleons. Participants suggest that a meaningful comparison necessitates understanding typical particle mass and the color charge between quarks. The consensus leans towards viewing the comparison as somewhat artificial, as it equates color charge with gravitational charge. Overall, the complexity of the forces makes direct comparisons challenging.

How does one characterize the strength of a force? Force has to act on something. This thing is called a "charge".

I don't think you should take this question too seriously.

Gravity acts on mass. The nuclear force binds nucleons together. To get some sort of comparison you need a typical particle mass and the color charge between quarks.

From what I've been able to decipher, it's an artificial comparison where colour charge of a particle is pretended to be equivalent to its gravitation charge.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
