उत्तर
The force of attraction between two particles or bodies is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Isaac Newton proposed this law, which is also known as Newton’s law of gravitation.

Can we apply Newton’s third law to the gravitational force ? Explain your answer.
The gravitational field in a region is given by \[E = \left( 2 \overrightarrow{i} + 3 \overrightarrow{j} \right) N {kg}^{- 1}\] . Show that no work is done by the gravitational field when a particle is moved on the line 3y + 2x = 5.
