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 .

About Gravitation
Newton’s law of universal gravitation relates the force between masses to their masses and separation, while gravitational field strength explains weight and orbital motion. The topic covers satellite velocity and period, escape ideas, weightlessness in free fall, and artificial gravity, which differs from ordinary gravitational attraction.
