Thus , experience teaches that bodies fall at the surface of the earth with an accelerated velocity , and with a force proportional to their masses . By comparison , Newton proved that the force which occasions the fall of bodies at the ...

It has been proved by Newton , that a particle of matter ( N. 6 ) placed without the surface of a hollow sphere ( N. 7 ) is attracted by it in the same manner as if the mass of the hollow sphere , or the whole matter it contains ...

The moon is thus retained in her orbit by a force having the same origin , and regulated by the same law , with that which causes a stone to fall at the earth's surface . The earth may , therefore , be regarded as the centre of a force ...

There is a reciprocal action likewise between the earth and every particle at its surface . The earth and a feather mutually attract each other in the proportion of the mass of the earth to the mass of the feather .

The force of gravity is everywhere perpendicular to the surface ( N. 118 ) , and tends to the interior of the fluid mass ; whereas the centrifugal force acts perpendicularly to the axis of rotation , and is directed to the exterior .
