tuzzer Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 For example, if you put a book on the table, then would it be harder and harder to lift the book when you are increasing the weight under the table, on the floor? Since more mass means more gravity between two objects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 yes. but the effect is pretty negligble unless you put something increadibly massive under the table, say mars for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Wow - I never thought of it that way. I mean I have but not in that way. Yes - the body underneath the table would have to be bigger than the Earth:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insane_alien Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 the body underneath the table would have to be bigger than the Earth not really. anything would have an effect but it wouldn't be very noticable until its a good fraction of the mass of the moon.
