In subject area:Earth and Planetary Sciences The gravitational field is defined in terms of gravitational potential U. The potential U due to a point mass “m” at a given point “P” at a distance “r” from m is defined as the work needed by the gravitational force in moving a unit...

The skyhook would consist of two masses, one on each end of a long thin cable with a spring at its centre. As it orbits the Earth, the cable would be stretched radially by the Earth's tidal gravitational field. Gravitational waves would pull the masses apart and push them together in ...
where M is the mass of the Earth. If this formula is written P=mg, then g=GM/R2. The constant g is then called the acceleration due to gravity. It is the acceleration of free fall of a body in the Earth's gravitational field. At altitudes z such that the force of gravity may ...
