...nearly; the preceding propositions, therefore, furnish astronomers with just reason for concluding, that each planet is attracted to the sun by a force which is directly as the quantity <f matter in the central body, and inversely as the square of the distance... | |

...to move in circular orbits (from which they, in fact, differ but little), they are solicited towards the sun by a force which varies inversely as the square of the distance. This supposition is not rigorous. But the coustant relation of the squares of the periodic... | |

...•* It therefore follows, from Kepler's second Iaw,'that each planet is continually urged towards the sun, by a force which varies inversely as the square of the distance from the sun's centre. 6. Since each planet is urged towards the sun by a fon|e varying inversely... | |

...distance is concerned.) And in the result, we find Mr. Vince coming to the following conclusion, viz. : " Hence, we conclude that each planet is attracted to...force which varies inversely as the square of the distance of its centre, and that the constituent particles also attract each other by a force varying... | |
