COMMENTS
The absolute value of the gravitational attraction force between a homogeneous cube with mass M and edge length 2*s and a test particle with mass m located at the cube's center of face is c*G*M*m/s^2, where G is the gravitational constant (A070058) and c is this constant.
The centers of the faces are the positions where the gravitational field that is generated by the cube attains its maximum absolute value.

COMMENTS
The absolute value of the total gravitational attraction force between two identical homogeneous cubes, each with mass M and edge length s, whose centers are at distance s is c*G*M^2/s^2, where G is the gravitational constant (A070058) and c is this constant.
The calculation of the closed-form formula for this constant was done by Prof. Bengt Fornberg of the University of Colorado (Trefethen, 2011).
