State the universal law of gravitation.

Newton's law of universal gravitation. Newton's law of gravitation, states that every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle in the universe with a force varying directly as the product of their masses and inversely as the square of the distance between the particles.

$F = \frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}$ 

where m₁ and m₂ are masses of the particles and r is the distance between them and G is universal Gravitation constant
