...Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force whose magnitude is directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of their distance from each other.'' This is incorrect. All bodies do not attract each other, two molecules... | |

...Universal Gravitation is as follows : ] Two particles attract each other with a force which varies v directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them. This law was discovered by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666, but, on account of an erroneous value of the diameter... | |

...were. For instance, when we observe that two bodies always attract each other with a force varying directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of their distance apart, we call this fact the " law of gravitation " ; but when we go and deliberately... | |

...According to Newton's law of gravitation, two bodies attract each other with a force proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of the distance between the bodies. From this law the paths of the planets about the sun have been calculated,... | |

Newton generalized the law of attraction into a statement 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...
