Gravity in the human body...?

Question

Does a human body have gravity? Any sources will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Yes, it does. But 'have' is a poor choice of words. All mass has a gravitational attraction to all other mass. The magnitude of the gravitational force between them is given by
F = G*m1*m2/r²
where F is the force in Newtons, G is the gravitational constant (6.67*10^(-11)), m1 and m2 are the masses (in kilograms), and r is the distance between them (in meters)

Answer 2

It does have gravity, like any object with mass. The amount of gravity it has is very small compared to the Earth's gravity.

Its force on an object can be calculated as F = G*M*m/(r^2), where G is the gravitational constant, M and m are the masses of the human and the object it is attracting, and r is the distance between their centers of mass. Between two 75-kg people standing 10 cm apart, the gravitational force is only 0.0000375 newtons.

Answer 3

All matter has gravity, or more correctly, creates a gravitational field. The problem is that gravity is such a weak force that you need a LOT of matter (like a whole planet) to notice the gravity. So while your body does pull on other objects by the force of your personal gravity, the force is so small it's pretty much impossible to detect.

Answer 4

Any object that has mass has gravity. However, in order for gravity to be measurable and have an affect on other objects its mass must be much greater than that of a human body. The planets become round because they have attained sufficient mass that the gravity pulls in sufficiently to make a round sphere.

Think about it. Gravity is seen in the digestive system, urinary tract, and women's reproductive system.
