उत्तर
- Statement:
Every particle of matter attracts every other particle of matter with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. - In vector form, it can be expressed as,
`vec"F"_21 = "G" ("m"_1"m"_2)/"r"^2(- hat"r"_21)`
where, `hat"r"_21` is the unit vector from m1 to m2. The force `vec"F"_21` is directed from m2 to m1.
