...concentrated at its centre) seems to be, that the attraction of all bodies toward the earth varies as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of the distance from the centre of the earth. Experiments with magnets are said to have disclosed the law...

...that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them ; and he thence deduces the law of attraction for spherical shells of constant...

...other particle with a force whose direction is that of a line joining the two, and whose magnitude is directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of their distance from each other." We know that we ourselves and the things about us are pulled toward...

...that every particle of matter attracts every other particle, and suspected that the attraction varied as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them : but it is certain that he did not then know what the attraction of a spherical...

...one general law of gravitation, namely, that the force of attraction between any two particles varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of their distances. This law was first tested by applying it to the moon's motion about the earth ; and...

...that of the line joining the two particles, and whose magnitude is directly as the product of the two masses, and inversely as the square of the distance between them. This law expressed in symbols is F= G^ (9) a* where m and m! are the masses of the particles, d is the distance...

...are at a finite distance apart than when they are infinitely distant from one another, by an amount •which is directly as the product of their masses and inversely as their distance apart. This statement, it is to be particularly observed, contains no allusion to attraction...

...is as follows: The gravitation stress between every two particles of matter in the universe varies directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of the distance between them. If the masses of two particles be represented by m and m', the distance between...

...gravitation. Newton's law of universal gravitation states that "the attraction between any two bodies varies as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between their centers of mass." For instance, if two bodies, A and B , weigh 100 pounds and...

...force whose direction is that of the straight line joining the two, and whose magnitude is proportional directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of their mutual distance " — this is the generalisation known as the Law of Gravitation.* Another way...
