If he's thought Force must be proportional to the mass and acceleration why didn't he write down the equation in:
F=kma
form , how did he cancel out the k constant?
or did he come to the solution with Galileo's fallen objects experiments and reasoned :
a=F/m (a equals to g here of course)
examining the results and seeing that as m stays constant F must be changing so that g always the same??
As far as I know Newton is not an experiment-man, he's more of a theoretical-physicist.
