...the enunciation of the general law of gravitation, as given by the author. It is as follows : — " Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force whose direction is that of a line joining the two, and whose magnitude is directly as the product of...

...To solve the problem we have to appeal to Newton's law of universal gravitation. This law teaches us that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which is directly proportional to the mass, and inversely proportional to the square of the * distance...

...afterwards mentioned, Newton is understood to have at first rested his law of universal gravitation : ' Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly proportioned to the mass of the attracting in 1576, used to assemble ; and here the mayor,...

...Newton's law of gravitation, says — * Gen. j. 2. f Presbyterian Review on Mr. Fairholuie's Geology. "Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly proportioned to the mass of the attracting particle, and inversely to the square of the distance...

...afterwards mentioned, Newton is understood to have at first rested his law of universal gravitation : ' Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force directly proportioned to the mass of the attracting particle, and inversely to the square of the distance...

...of a projectile in air is too difficult a problem to be discussed here. 84. LAW OF GRAVITATION. — Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force, in the direction of the line joining the two, whose magnitude is directly proportional to the product...

...Newton's Principia. All that I previously could gather from books about the laws of gravitation was : 1. That every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle. 2. That the energy of attraction is in proportion to the mass of the attracting body. 3. That the force...

...probability to be exactly true ; but we cannot calculate out in any one case its accurate results. The law asserts that every particle of matter in the universe attracts (ivory other particle, with a force depending on the masses of tlui particles and their distance. We...

...subjected to calculation by NEWTON. The theory when regarded as a law of nature may be stated as follows : Every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which varies directly as its mass, and inversely as the square of the distance between them. Mathematicians...

...matter this whole pomp of stars might have been evolved. The law of gravitation enunciated by Newton is, that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force which diminishes as the square of the distance increases. Thus the sun and the earth mutually pull...
