प्रश्न
Universal law of gravitation states that every object exerts a gravitational force of attraction on every other object. If this is true, why don’t we notice such forces ? Why don’t the two objects in a room move towards each other due to this force ?

उत्तर
In order to notice the gravitational force of attraction that act between two objects, it is necessary that one of the objects should have extremely large mass as compared to the other. But none of the object has such large mass, so we cannot notice the forces.
The two objects in a room do not move towards each other because they have small mass and so the gravitational force of attraction between them is very weak.
