The gravitational strength "G" is defined by the equation G = -Gm/r^3, which relates to gravitational force. This equation is closely related to the vector form of gravitational acceleration, represented as \(\vec g = -Gm\frac{\vec r}{r^3}\). Both equations describe the influence of mass on gravitational strength and are essential for understanding gravitational interactions in physics. The discussion highlights the importance of these equations in the context of gravitational studies.
PREREQUISITESStudents of physics, educators developing curriculum on gravitational concepts, and anyone interested in the mathematical foundations of gravitational strength and force.
It looks close to ##\vec g=-Gm\frac{\vec r}{r^3}##, which does make sense,LCSphysicist said:Homework Statement:: Gravitational topic
Relevant Equations:: G = -Gm/r^3
I am doing a book that have only exercises, and an introduction to the posterior theme, so, in the introduction, there is the relevant equations, and there is a equation: G = -Gm/r^3 called strength G, in the gravitational topic, what is this? I never saw it.
