Introduction to the Force of Gravity and Gravitational Mass

The video tutorial covers the concept of gravity, explaining the force of gravity and its synonymous term, weight. It distinguishes between gravitational and inertial mass, noting their experimental equivalence. The accepted value for acceleration due to gravity on Earth is discussed, emphasizing its vector nature and downward direction. The tutorial also explains the SI unit for force, the Newton, and introduces Newtonian mechanics. Finally, it covers the English unit for force, the pound, and its historical context.
