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

...accept as absolute truth such statements as ' ' every particle of matter attracts every other particle directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance," or "when hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water the ratio of their weights is 1 :...

...to be recast in terms exhibiting the precise quantitative variation, — bodies attract each other directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of their distance. It is evident that the special function of this method of concomitant variations consists in just this...

...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...

...drawing it along the base and raising it vertically upward. 4. If two particles attract each other directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of the distance between them, find the work done, wheri they have moved from an infinite distance apart...

...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 aver that this...

...and is known by his name. It'may be stated as follows: The gravitation between any two bodies varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between their centers of mass. Weight or Gravity. — The most familiar example of gravitation...

...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 the solar system; but...

...was the following : ' That all bodies tend to attract each other mutually with a force that varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them.'t In his attempt, then, to explain causally the movements of the heavenly...
