...Gravitation 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 bodies be represented by m and m', the distance between...

...follows: Every particle, of matter in the universe attracts every other particle witli a force which varies directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of the distance between them. The mathematical statement of the law is as follows: kmm' Here m and m ' denote...

...result, it may be concluded that any two particles of matter attract each other ivith a force varying directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of the intervening distance. 2. Electric Forces. — With respect to electric phenomena, bodies are usually...

...problems of chemistry. Two bodies at a distance from each other are drawn together with, a force which is directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of the distance between them. This is the cause of weight, in which the earth as the larger body seems to...

...rule: " Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force varying directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of the distance between them."]; This is the law of universal gravitation — the law that once grasped beholds...

...at a distance, r, between centres to attract •each other with a force, /. —^ , ie, with a force, directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of their distances. The factor, /, which is constant for all masses, and -which must be derived from observation,...

...other particle with a force whose direction is that of the 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. Thus, if M, m, are the masses, D their distance, their attraction (ie...

...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...

...consequences of the 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...

...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 them ; and he thence deduces the law of attraction for spherical shells of constant...
