Solution

  1. Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with force directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
  2. Mathematically, the law is represented as F=Gm1m2r2(F=gravitational force between two bodies, G=6.673×10-11Nm2/kg2= universal gravitational constant,m1and m2= masses of two bodies, r= distance of separation between the two bodies)

Hence, the universal law of gravitation gives the gravitational force between any two bodies having some mass.
