What is the gravitational unit of force?


Newton’s Universal Law of Gravitation states that the force of attraction between any two bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance among them.

The gravitational unit of force is kilogram-force, represented by kgf. Also, $1kgf=9.8N$

The Gravitational force formula or equation is given as:

$F=G\frac{M\times m}{{r}^{2}}$

In the equation:

F is the force of gravity (measured in Newtons, N).

G is the gravitational constant of the universe and is always remains the same number.

is the mass of one object (measured in kilograms, kg).

m is the mass of the other object (measured in kilograms, kg).

r is the distance between two masses (measured in meters, m).
