Detailed explanation-1: -Newton’s law of gravitation, statement that any particle of matter in the universe attracts any other with a force varying directly as the product of the masses and inversely as the square of the distance between them.
Detailed explanation-2: -If the mass of one of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is doubled. If the mass of one of the objects is tripled, then the force of gravity between them is tripled. If the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled; and so on.
Detailed explanation-3: -Newtons law of gravitation is called the universal law of gravitation because it is applicable for all masses at all distances, independent of the medium. For two masses m1 and m2 placed at a distance d, the gravitational force between them will always be given by: Fg=Gd2m1m2. That’s why it is a “universal” law.
