Gravitational force is the force between two bodies irrespective of the presence of any objects between them,

F

g

=

R

2

GMm

where G is the constant of gravitation, M and m are the masses of Earth and the object, R is the distance between the object and center of

Answer 2

Answer:

The statement is False

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on two objects in water remains the same as in any medium like air or vacuum. The only difference here is that, there is a force in water which is known as force of buoyancy.

This force acts on the object under water in the direction opposite to that of gravity. As a result, the weight of the object will appear to be less than before. Otherwise, the effect of gravity will remain the same.
