Gravitational Force

Calculate Newtonian gravitational force between two masses.

How this calculator works

Enter first mass (kg), second mass (kg), center-to-center distance (m). CalcStack applies the displayed formula and reports each intermediate planning value with the units shown.

Formula / method

F = Gm₁m₂ ÷ r²

Worked example

1,000 kg and 500 kg separated by 10 m attract with 0.000333715 N.

Assumptions and limitations

Masses are treated as points or spherically symmetric bodies.

Relativistic effects, rotation and extended-body geometry are not modeled.
