There are
different kinds of forces; applied force, force of gravity, friction force,
normal force, tension force. We will focus on the common forces, applied force
and force of gravity. An applied force is a force that is applied to an object
by another object. The force of gravity is the force with which massively large
objects such as the earth attracts another object towards itself. All objects
of the earth exert a gravity that is directed towards the center of the earth.
Therefore, the force of gravity of the earth is equal to the weight of the
object.
