...planets were manifest ; and the hypothesis was that their motions might be due to their attracting one another with a force proportional to the product...of their masses and inversely proportional to the squares of the distances between them. In the Ptolemaic Astronomy, again, there was an hypothesis as...

...accounted for by Newton's law of gravitation, which states that two heavenly bodies attract each other with a force proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart. Further research into the nature of gravitational force will not amplify...

...— Newton's law of gravitation asserts that every heavenly body attracts every other heavenly body with a force proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart. This law has, so far, been confirmed for distances ranging from 1 cm....

...general theory of relativity. 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...

...be inferred the law of universal gravitation. Every particle of matter attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely as the square of their distance apart. This law can be pretty clearly established for all bodies constituting...

...all times. Once we make the assumption that every particle of matter attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance, the whole planetary theory follows logically, though it may need a Newton first...

...1. ACCORDING to Newton's law of gravitation every particle of matter attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Thus if m and m' be the masses of two particles and d the distance...
