It is always attractive and acts between all particles of matter. Law of Universal Gravitation This law states that any two objects with mass exert a gravitational force on each other. The force has the same magnitude on each object. The magnitude is directly proportional to the product of the objects' masses. It is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. тт, Where, = G(! d' F. = gravitational force between two objects G= gravitational constant = 6.673 × 10-11 N x m²/kg? m, and m, = masses of the two objects in kg d = distance between the two objects in m 1.
