उत्तर
The universal law of gravitation states that every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force called the gravitational force. The force acting between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centres.
F ∝ m M (masses of two bodies m and M)
F ∝ `1/"d"^2` (d is the distance between the two bodies.)
A and B are two bodies, the distance between which is given as d.
F = force with which one body is attracting the other.
G = proportionality constant.
