The gravitational attraction between two objects is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
 
> 8. http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/GFR3/eqn2.png
 
The area under a curve between points a and b is equal to the integral of b for that function less the integral of a for that function.
