Weight *is* the force of gravity on an object. >The force of gravity lessens the further the object is >moved away from the center of a rotating objects. The force of gravity depends only on the masses of the objects in question and the distance between their centres of gravity � the famous inverse square law. The rotation of one or both of the objects has no effect on the force of gravity between them. I hope this helps any TIPSters who have to deal with this subject in the course of teaching topics in psychology. :-) Allen Esterson Former lecturer, Science Department Southwark College, London [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.human-nature.com/esterson/index.html http://www.butterfliesandwheels.com/articleprint.php?num=10 --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
