...well as between the molecules constituting a single body. Newcomb tersely defines it as follows : " Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly as their masses, and inversely as the square of the distance which separates them." (Pop....

...the stone back to itself — an instance of a general law, one operation of an ever-active force. For every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force proportional to the product of their masses, and increasing as the square of the distance decreases....

...accepted by the common sense of intelligent men. I postulate first — Newton's law of gravitation, that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly as the mass and inversely as the square of the distance. It will be well to pause and consider...

...under their mutual attraction. In it Newton generalizes the law of attraction into a statement that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which varies directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between...

...definite form. Moreover, in virtue of the universal applicability of the law of gravitation — viz. that 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...

...in its orbit round the earth, and, in fact, he formulated his theory of Universal Gravitation 'that every particle of matter in the universe attracts...whose direction is that of the line joining the two, and whose magnitude is directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of their...

...must be sought through the second part of the law, as may be seen from the law as stated in full. " Every particle of matter in the universe attracts...whose direction is that of the line joining the two, and whose magnitude is directly as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of their...

...the following generalisation, first explicitly given by Newton, and known us the Law of Graritatiun : Every particle of matter in the universe attracts...particle with a force whose direction is that of the straight line joining the two, and whose magnitude is proportional directly as the product of their...

...the law of force being that known as the "law of inverse squares." This law maybe stated as follows: Every particle of matter in the universe attracts...every other particle with a force whose direction is in the line joining them, and whose magnitude varies directly as the mass of each particle and inversely...

...the book of Eevelation that salvation is not by works, but by faith. The discovery by Newton, that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force varying directly as its mass, and inversely as the square of its distance, is simply a fact of nature...
