Newton's law of Gravitation states that the force of attraction between two bodies is directly proportional to:
Correct answer: C. Product of their masses
- A. Product of mass and distance between them
- B. Square of the distance between them
- C. Product of their masses
- D. Product of square of their masses
Explanation
C is correct. The force of attraction between two bodies is directly proportional to the products of their masses only. As, F= GMm/R2 .
