The force of attraction between all masses in the universe, especially the attraction of the earth's mass for bodies near its surface is called- Correct Answer Gravitational force

The correct answer is Gravitational force.

  • The force which pulls the body towards earth is called gravitational force.
  • Gravitational force was discovered by Sir Issac Newton.
  • The Four Fundamental Forces of Nature are Gravitational force, Weak Nuclear force, Electromagnetic force and Strong Nuclear force.
  • Gravitational force is the weakest force in nature.
  • Nuclear force is the strongest force in nature.
  • The Frictional force is the opposing force that is created between two surfaces that try to move in the same/opposite directions.

What is the force of attraction between any two bodies by virtue of their masses is called?
Consider we have two blocks of masses P and Q. Now block Q was placed on top of P as shown in the figure below also there was no frictional force between mass P and surface of the plane whereas the friction force between P and Q can be given as f. In this case what will happen if we apply the force of magnitude F on block P (consider f < F)
