Is There Such a Formula?

Gravitational Force between 2 objects?

gForce = (GRAVITY * (mass1 * mass2) / (dist*dist))

Sorry, no. In the denominator of the gravity formula , there is distance^2

In the formula I search, it should be (m1+m2)

Suppose you have two masses, m1 and m2 separated by distance d. Say that the centroid of the two masses is x from mass m1.

x = m2*d/(m1 + m2)

m1*x = m1*m2*d/(m1 + m2)

m1*x/d = m1*m2/(m1 + m2)

x/d is dimensionless, so the expression has units of mass. It represents the moment of either mass m1 or m2 about the centroid when d = 1.

Thanks ba/ael.

This is what I was looking for.

It represents the moment of either mass m1 or m2 about the centroid when d = 1.
