प्रश्न
State the law of gravitation. Why is it called universal?
उत्तर
Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
The Law of gravitation is called universal because it applies to all bodies of the universe.
