Question
If there is a gravitational force of attraction between any two bodies, why do the bodies not stick together?
- Such a gravitational force does not exist
- The force is repulsive in nature
- It is negligible in magnitude
- There is another force preventing this kind of motion
Hint:
If there is a gravitational force of attraction between any two bodies, the bodies do not stick together because it is negligible in magnitude.
The correct answer is: It is negligible in magnitude

Joe wants to check the constancy of the acceleration due to gravity in his garden, for which he collects some objects such as a piece of cloth, an iron ball, an apple and drops them all at a time from the same height (I). He finds that the objects do not land at the same time. However, he then performs the same experiment in an evacuated glass tube (II), where all the objects land at the same time. Which of the above two experiments is the right way of checking the constancy of the acceleration due to gravity. Why?
