Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation:-

It states that:-

Every particle in the universe attracts each and every particle, provided that the force is inversely proportional.to the distance and directly proportional to the masses.

Related Terms :-

Universal Gravitational Constant:-

This is often termed as G and its value is


\sf{6.67 * 10^(-11)N m^2 / kg^2}

This value is constant anywhere in the Universe.

Also, remember this formula:-


\sf{F = (G * M1 * M2 )/(r^2)}

  • Where M1 and M2 are masses
  • And F is the force.
  • G is the Universal Gravitational Constant
  • And r is the distance between the 2 masses.
