Newton’slaw of gravity

Newton'slaw of universal gravitation states that a particle attracts every other particlein the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product oftheir masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance betweenthem. This is a general physical law derived from empirical observations bywhat Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning. It is a part of classicalmechanics and was formulated in Newton's work Philosophiæ Naturalis PrincipiaMathematica, first published on 5 July 1687. (When Newton's book was presentedin 1686 to the Royal Society, Robert Hooke made a claim that Newton hadobtained the inverse square law from him; see the History section below.)

Inmodern language, the law states: Every point mass attracts every single otherpoint mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting both points. Theforce is proportional to the product of the two masses and inverselyproportional to the square of the distance between them. The first test ofNewton's theory of gravitation between masses in the laboratory was theCavendish experiment conducted by the British scientist Henry Cavendish in1798. It took place 111 years after the publication of Newton's Principia andapproximately 71 years after his death.

Newton'slaw of gravitation resembles Coulomb's law of electrical forces, which is usedto calculate the magnitude of the electrical force arising between two chargedbodies. Both are inverse-square laws, where force is inversely proportional tothe square of the distance between the bodies. Coulomb's law has the product oftwo charges in place of the product of the masses, and the electrostaticconstant in place of the gravitational constant.

Newton'slaw has since been superseded by Albert Einstein's theory of generalrelativity, but it continues to be used as an excellent approximation of theeffects of gravity in most applications. Relativity is required only when thereis a need for extreme precision, or when dealing with very strong gravitationalfields, such as those found near extremely massive and dense objects, or atvery close distances (such as Mercury's orbit around the Sun).
