    Note: look for the section labeled ***HACK***.   This is where I =
simply slapped a number into the code in order to see if it was working =
correctly.  Instead of this really bogus number, it needs to be the =
correct amount of force that would be applied by gravity.  Someone with =
some knowledge of physics please figure out what this would be?  =
Currently, the only data for the gravity well is mass(in kilograms), and =
position.

The force due to gravity is a function of the masses of both attractors, =
and the distance between them.

F =3D G (m1) (m2) / r^2

where F is the force due to gravity, G is the gravitational constant, m1 =
is one body's mass, m2 is the other body's, and r is the distance =
between the bodies. F is exterted on each body in a direction straight =
towards the other body. =20

Was this what you were looking for?
