btw g=mMG/r^2

anonymous · Answer

so rougly estimate the force, you can google for the masses and radii.

anonymous · Answer

My desk.

anonymous · Answer

Yeah, my desk is pulling me away from the Earth.

Or not.

anonymous · Answer

The answer depends on where you are located with respect to these objects. Neil Armstrong presumably had the moon exert more force on him when he walked down that ladder.

And yes, it's a physics question,

WHY DOES EVERYBODY POST GENERIC QUESTION IN THE COMPUTER SCIENCE GROUP???

itz hard to calculate... b ut i will go for desk.. a wild guess actually

anonymous · Answer

Didn't you catch my irony?

If the desk exerted a stronger force on you than the Earth, you would tend to be attracted by the desk more than by the earth. No equations necessary, just logic.
