Question

Who proposed the universal law of gravitational attraction as F=Gm1 m2/d2?

Answer 1

The universal law of gravitational attraction, expressed as \( F = \frac{G m_1 m_2}{d^2} \), was formulated by Sir Isaac Newton. This law describes the gravitational force \( F \) between two objects with masses \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \), separated by a distance \( d \), where \( G \) is the gravitational constant. Newton's formulation of this law was published in his work "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" in 1687.
