The universal law of gravitational is the force law known also as the

A

triangular law

B

square law

C

inverse square law

D

parallelogram law

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

Universal law of gravitation states that the gravitational force of attraction acting between two of universe is `F=(Gm_(1)m_(2))/(r^(2))` where G is gravitational constant and `r` is the distance between them. Hence, it is also known as inverse square law.
