Solution

Newton's law of universal gravitation.

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation says that each and every particle in the universe attracts every other particle inside the universe with a force that is exactly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Fm1m2r2F=Gm1m2r2

Where,

  • F is the gravitational force.
  • m1 and m2 are the mass.
  • r is the distance.
  • G is the universal gravitational constant (6.673×10-11Nm2kg2)

Hence, the formula for Newton's law of universal gravitation is F=Gm1m2r2.
