 Thus he proposed his law of universal gravitation, which we can state as follows: Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of...

...usually stated thus : LAW OF GRAVITATION. Every particle of matter attracts every other particle with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. We can put the law rather differently thus, and in this form it... | |

According to the law of gravitation, every particle attracts every other particle with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart. No law has had more ample verification than this has in the solar system,... | |
