...exert give rise to all the celestial phenomena. Universal Gravitation is, then, the principle that " every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle, with a force which is inversely poportional to the square of the distance between them" or, in other words, with...

...Newton—the last to rush from particular phenomena to general theories—in the grand cosmical law :—' Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force varying directly as the product of the masses and inversely as the square of the distance.' Under this...

...the last to rush from particular phenomena to general theories— in the grand cosmical law : — ' Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force varying directly as the product of the masses and inversely as the square of the distance.' Under this...

...which render it prohable that it is derivative. The law of gravitation enunciated by Newton is, that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which diminishes as the square of the distance increases. Under this law a stone falls to the ground...

...identical with the law itself, and not something different from it. Thus, for example, the fact that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a certain force, is the law of gravity. The observance is the law, and the law is the observance. There...

...this whole pomp of stars might have been evolved. The law of gravitation enunciated by Newton is, that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which diminishes as the square of the distance increases. Thus the sun and the earth mutually pull...

...produced on the earth by the sun will have their maximum at these two dates. It is a well known law that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle, with a force directly proportioned to the mass of the attracting particle, and inversely to the square of the distance...

...now been so extensively verified, as to be susceptible of the following precise expression — viz. ' Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly proportioned to the mass of the attracting particle, and inversely to the square of the distance...

...received, that, as gravity is found directly proportional to the mass of the gravitating bodies, so every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which is directly proportionate to the mass of the attracting particles, and inversely proportionate...

...squares of their distances from the third body. This, then, is Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation. Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle, •with a force directly proportional to the mass of the attracting particle, and inversely proportional to the square...
