Newton’s law of universal gravitation

There is a force of attraction between any two particles in the universe.  Thus, every particle attracts every other particle with a force,F, given by F = Gm1m2 where m1 and m2 are the masses two particles at distance x apart, and G is the universal gravitational constant, which is now put at 6.672 59 x 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2.  Real bodies having spherical symmetry act as point masses positioned at the center of mass.
