Abstract: The term ‘force’ whenever coined reminds us of Newton and his Laws of Motion. Before Newton there were likes of Galileo and Kepler amongst others who had done noticeable work in this regard. Force and its types had been at the helm of focus given by the scientific community during and before the 17th century. Force can be described as the power required to overcome the resistance provided by a body or a material. The formulas derived by Newton to get a clear sense about gravity described both the celestial motions and the terrestrial motions of the falling objects. Our current understanding of gravity which is a force of attraction present between two masses separated by a distance, is primarily because of Newton. In this paper we are focusing on gravitational force, how it works and whether or not any energy is required, or spent, for the force of gravity to attract mass towards the surface of the earth. An experimental analysis has also been done to help us understand gravitational force and to prove the conclusion we are at is correct in all sense.
