What effect does gravity have on bridges ability to hold weight?
Wiki User

If gravity increases, the bridge is subjected to more weight. If gravity decreases, the bridge is subjected to less weight. Either way, the bridge will have a maximum weight that will remain the same regardless of the gravitational environment.

How does gravity affect weight mass microgravity and free fall?
Gravity does not effect mass, weight is what you get when you resist the effects of gravity. (Note that in "free fall" and/or "micro gravity" you are not resisting.)
How does weight relate to gravity and mass?
weight is the force of gravity on an object, and mass is the volume o space it takes up, independent of the gravitational pull.
How do l calculate the effect of gravity on weight?
by using telling the weigh
What would be the effect on the mass and the weight of an object if the object were taken to a planet with twice the gravity of earth?
the mass would stay the same no matter where you are and the weight is the force of gravity on an object, so depending on the gravity your weight would change
Weight is the measure of the force of what?
Weight is a measure of the force of gravity on a person. This is why, when you visit another planet that has a different gravitational pull, you may weight more or less because gravity has less effect on you.
Discuss the effect of weight on gravity?
It is really the other way round - gravity has an effect on weight. The more gravity, the more weight.
How are gravity and weight related?
weight is the effect caused by gravity. if gravity increases, so does your weight!
What effect does gravity have on bridges?
The primary effect of gravity on a bridge is that it keeps it "in place" in the wind. The massive weight of the bridge is a key part of its structure and of its structural integrity. Certainly gravity acts to "pull the bridge down" in effect, but we use that to stabilize the structure, turning a "negative" into a "positive" in that light. Gravity transfers forces to the structures that support the bridge, and, in the case of (most) suspension bridges, hold the ends of the main cables to the massive blocks set to maintain the tension of those cables.
How do gravity and weight link to space?
gravity has no effect to space ad weight show
Measurement of gravity's effect on a mass?
Weight.
Why do objects with more have greater weight?
weight is the effect of gravity acting on mass,the greater the mass the greater the effect on gravity will have on it therefore the greater the weight. eg. if the mass is 50kg and gravity is 10N the the weight is 500N,if the mass increases to 100kg the the weight would increase to 1000N
What will be the effect on your weight if you go toward the poles?
Gravity
Why do objects with more mass have greater weight?
weight is the effect of gravity acting on mass,the greater the mass the greater the effect on gravity will have on it therefore the greater the weight. eg. if the mass is 50kg and gravity is 10N the the weight is 500N,if the mass increases to 100kg the the weight would increase to 1000N
How does gravity affect weight mass microgravity and free fall?
Gravity does not effect mass, weight is what you get when you resist the effects of gravity. (Note that in "free fall" and/or "micro gravity" you are not resisting.)
What does weight rely on?
Mass and gravity. F = ma. Weight is a measurement of the force a mass exerts downwards due to the effect of gravity.
Who is the mathematician of weight?
It could be Newton who discovered that weight was the effect of gravity acting on a mass.
Does the density of an object effect it's weight?
No, The weight is depends on gravity and total mass .
