"gravitation" : L'une des quatre interactions fondamentales de la physique, qui se traduit par des forces attractives entre tous les corps ayant une masse et dont Newton a le premier formulé la loi : deux corps ponctuels de masses m et m', situés à une distance r l'un de l'autre, s'attirent avec une force dirigée selon la droite qui les joint et d'intensité proportionnelle aux masses et inversement proportionnelle au carré de la distance : [formule où] G est une constante universelle, appelée constante de gravitation, de valeur G = 6,672.10-11 Nm2 Kg-2 2, record 2, French, - constante%20de%20gravitation
