Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Newton''s law of universal gravitation states that every object in this 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 distance between their centres. This is a general physical law derived from empirical observations by what Newton called induction. It is a part of classical mechanics and was formulated in Newton''s work Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica ("the Principia"), first published on 5 July 1687. (When Newton''s book was presented in 1686 to the Royal Society, Robert Hooke made a claim that Newton had obtained the inverse square law from him see History section below.) In modern language, the law states the following:
