...string breaks. The law of gravitation as stated by Sir Isaac Newton, who discovered it, is as follows : Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle of matter, with a force that varies .directly as the mass of the particles and inversely as the square of the distance between...

...so, at first, he could not prove his law. The general law of gravitation formulated by Newton is that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle of matter in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to its bulk, or mass, and inversely proportional...

...force which causes it to do so is termed gravity. The law of universal gravitation is : Every particle in the universe attracts every other particle of matter with a force directly proportioned to the mass of the attracting particle, and inversely to the square of the distance...

...— Sir Isaac Newton, who worked out the mathematical formula for the laiv governing falling bodies : "Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle of matter, directly as their masses and inversely as the square root of the distance between them." Nobody knows...

...from the previously known laws of falling bodies and from astronomical observations. According to his law, every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle of matter with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the...

...motion derived from them by Johannes Kepler, formulated the Law of Universal Gravitation, or Newton's Law: "Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle, with a force whose direction is that of the line joining the two, and whose magnitude varies directly...

...our necessities, desires and feelings the same in winter as in summer? Newton declared: — "Ktery particle of matter in the universe attracts every...particle of matter with a force or power directly proportionate to the quantity of matter in each, and decreasing as the squares of the distances which...

...the physical plane in the Newtonian theory of attraction and gravitation, which demonstrates that " every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle of matter, with a force directly proportional to its quantity of matter, and decreasing as the square of the distance increases."...

...Newton's famous law of universal gravitation (1687) in the third book, section I of the "Principia" Every particle of matter in the Universe attracts every other particle of matter with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the...

...mutually attracting systems of masses. The law itself is stated with deceptive simplicity as follows. Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle of matter with a force directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the...
