Inheritance diagram for StepCore::GravitationForce:
Detailed Description
Newton gravitational force.The force acts between pairs of massive bodies (currently only Particle) and equals:
![\[ \overrightarrow{f} = G \frac{m_1 m_2 \overrightarrow{r}} {|\overrightarrow{r}|^3} \]](form_9.png)
where:
is GravitationForce::gravitationConst
and 
is Particle::mass of first and second body
is difference of Particle::position of the first and second body
- Todo:
- Add interface for massive bodies, support bodies with distributed mass
