Solution

Newton's law of gravitation :
Every object in the universe, attracts every other object with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
F=Gm1m2d2.
where F = gravitational force
G = universal gravitational constant
m1,m2 = masses of the objects
d = distance between the objects
