Law of Gravitation

See GRAVITY. Law of Inverse Squares. When any two variables are so related that one varies inversely as the square of the other, the relation is said to be governed by this law: e.g., two quantities of matter attract each other with a force that decreases as the square of the distance between them increases, and we may expre the relation between the force and the distance by the variation equation 1 fo∞ da This is the law of change for all forms of force which radiate from a center.
