According to the Universal Law of Gravitation, the force of attraction between two bodies is inversely proportional to:
A. The sum of their masses.
B. The product of their masses.
C. The distance between them.
D. The square of the distance between their centers.
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation states that the gravitational force (F) between two point masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses (m1 × m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r²) between their centers. The mathematical formula is F = G(m1m2)/r².
