...matter in the universe has a tendency to attract every other particle with a force proportioned to the mass of the attracting body, and inversely as the square of the distance between them. Gravity, Terrestrial, is that law of nature, in virtue of which all bodies... | |

...the, best measure of force, when the motion of bodies is to be estimated. When we say that a force varies directly as the mass of the attracting body,...and inversely as the square of its distance from the body attracted, we mean that the force of attraction will be measured by the mass divided by the square... | |
