Gravity: Linking Weight and Mass of an Object

The video tutorial explains the concept of gravity, its effects on objects with mass, and how gravitational attraction works. It covers the gravitational field strength on Earth and how it affects the weight of objects. The tutorial provides examples of calculating weight on Earth and the Moon, illustrating the direct proportionality between mass and weight. It also explains the concept of the center of mass and how weight is measured using a Newton meter.
