...enunciated by Newton, which expresses the fact that every mass attracts every other with a force varying as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between their centres. In addition to this it has been seen that the inertia possessed by all moving matter gives it a tendency... | |

...has greater density ? [See Chap. V.] Law of Gravitation. The attraction between any two bodies varies as the product of their masses, and inversely as the square of the distance between their centers of mass. We often speak of the larger body's attracting the smaller, as the earth the apple,... | |
