The acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force is called its acceleration due to gravity. Its SI unit is m/s2. Acceleration due to gravity is a vector, which means it has both a magnitude and a direction. The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Earth is represented as g. It has a standard value defined as 9.80665 m/s2.[1]

The most common type of force is the force due to gravity. It is experienced by all of us in every day life. For everyone, falling of an apple from its tree was a common sight and was considered as a natural phenomena. But for Sir Isaac Newton, even though he was a boy at that time, this phenomena made him think inquisitively. Ultimately, he found that the reason of objects falling towards ground is that the Earth has an inherent property of exerting an attraction of force on the objects. This force is called force of gravity and the acceleration generated on the objects due to this force is called Acceleration due gravity .
