This equation computes the Potential Energy (`U_G`) due to the gravitational attraction between two masses, `m_1 and m_2`, separated by a distance (`s`).
This formula treats the masses as point masses.
The input to the equation are:
The output is the potential energy in `Newton * meters`
This equation can be applied to the situation where we are deriving the potential energy in a more complex system and the potential energy resulting from gravitational attraction of our masses in this equation, `m_1, and m_2`, represents the potential energy of gravitational attraction between component elements of the more complex system.
