Measure of the force of gravity

Briefly explain the measure of the force of gravity on the object?

E

Expert

Verified

Force is the vector product of acceleration and mass: F = ma. The weight is a particular case of that formula, where you replace the acceleration of gravity, g, for a. We can thus write: W = mg.1
