Christian.D walker Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I know this is crazy but is this even possible? Because if we knew exactly how strong the pull is you could possibly find out how to avoid them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 The pull is what you'd expect of anything with that mass and your distance from it. If you replaced the sun with an equal mass but with a small enough radius such that it was a black hole, we wouldn't notice any gravitational difference.

elfmotat Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 The acceleration required to maintain constant "r" value, i.e. the equivalent of the Newtonian "g" value, is given by: [math]a=\frac{GM}{r^2\sqrt{1-2GM/rc^2}}[/math] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
