Gravity affects the string by applying a force (dm).(g) on every particle of mass dm. Thereby, it produces a damping effect on the string.
weight is the effect caused by gravity. if gravity increases, so does your weight!
'Known' Variables
A scientific experiment
Mass & distance.
An experiment
This appears to be a question about an experiment. We can't tell you what the results of the experiment were because we weren't there.
Isac Newton was the first person to experiment with gravity. He discovered Gravity by watching a apple fall from a tree in front of his home.
France
Making a egg drop experiment is easy. You determine the gravity by how fast the egg drops and if it breaks.
Speed or acceleration have no effect on gravity.
fall over
Galileo
In his gravity experiment Galileo dropped objects form the Leaning Tower of Pisa, in Italy.
Acceleration does not effect gravity. It is rather the other way round. Gravity can affect the rate of acceleration.
Air has no effect on gravity. But the presence of air can change the response of an object to the force of gravity alone.
It is really the other way round - gravity has an effect on weight. The more gravity, the more weight.
Gravity really is one of the four main forces of the Universe. gravity is an effect and not the cause of anything, no gravitation's, no gravity waves, none of it. gravity is a dynamic effect. the acceleration of the underlying for of energy focused to the center of a mass. there is no separate force called gravity, just a dynamic effect we call 'gravity'
