1.4 The Universal Law of Gravitation

Introduction

In this lab, you are going to explore the application of Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation.This important relationship between masses was the first force law quantified in the history of modern science.The formula provides a means for determining the gravitational pull between two masses, but does not explain how gravity works.

\fForce on mass 2 by mass 1 = 33.4 N 4. Force on mass 1 by mass 2 = 33.4 N "ml 4km i mass 1 mass 2 (6.67 - 10-11) (2 . 109) (4 - 109)) = 33.35 8 (4000) 9
