Attraction between non-spherical objects

To get the value of for non-spherical objects, their equivalent volume of spherical objects is to be used.

Neutral space between the two objects

The neutral space between the two objects can be explained as the space where a third object will get equal attraction from both the objects.

 

In the figure shown above, A and B are two objects of mass and . A third object C of mass m is lying in between A and B. is the angle of two intersecting tangents of A and C, is the angle of two intersecting tangents of C and B.

Force of attraction between A and C = K m

Force of attraction between C and B = K m

If C is lying at the neutral space we get

K m = K m

Determination of the constant K

The push constant 'K' can be determined in the laboratory by the same experiments that were used to get gravitational constant.
