what is gravitational force
Answers
the mutual force of attraction of two bodies by virtue of their mass is called gravitational force.
since , the force is directly proportional to the product of masses of the body
so , F∝ M×m ................................{1}
and inversaly proportional to square of distance between them.
so , F∝1/r²........................................{2}
combining these two factors,
F∝Mm/r²
F=GMm/r²
where G is universal constant called gravitational constant.
✧ What is the Gravitational Force?
✒The universe has a lot of forces, a lot of pushes and pulls. We're always pushing or pulling something, even if only the ground. But it turns out that in physics, there are really only four fundamental forces from which everything else is derived: the strong force, the weak force, the electromagnetic force, and the gravitational force.

☞︎︎︎In the equation:
F is the force of gravity (measured in Newtons, N)
G is the gravitational constant of the universe and is always the same number
M 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 those objects are apart (measured in meters, m)
So if you know how massive two objects are and how far they are apart, you can figure out the force between them.
