What we call "gravity" is a fact of nature that causes forces of attraction in both

directions between every two specks of mass, no matter where they are or what

else is in between them. The forces are stronger if the masses have more mass,

and if they're closer together.

That's the connection between gravity and the force of it.

(The force of gravity is not the only force there is. Force can also be generated

by a muscle in your arm, an electrical charge on a rubber balloon, a bottle rocket,

a horse, wind, a gasoline engine, flowing water, a stretched rubber band, etc.)

When is work said to be done against the force of gravity?

All bodies with mass are attracted to the Earth by gravity, so when a body is raised you must do work to raise it. This work is equal to force x height, if force is in Newtons and height in meters, the work is in units of Joules.
