OCR: SAAC NEWTON (1642 1727) stated in his Law of Gravitation that there an force acting between any two bodies in the universe He further explained that the strength of this force called gravity, depends on the masses ofthe bodies and the distance between them. He measured the distance from the center ofs spherical objects. The unit measurement of gravity and other forces became known as the newton (N. With this law Newton provided formula: F=G m, X m. where: the force of gravity the universal constant (a figure calculated by Newton, which is always given as 6.673 1011 m the mass ofthe first body m the mass of the second body the distance between the two bodies According to this formula, the force of gravity on Earth between two spherical bodies each with mass of 2.2 pounds 1 kg and distance o ...
