I'm afraid it doesn't work that way. Physics is way, way more complicated then that.

-Newton's law of gravity is incorrect. What is currently accepted as the correct description of gravity is Einstein's general relativity which is extremely mathematically complicated but the basic field equation looks like: $R_{\mu \nu} - {1 \over 2}g_{\mu \nu}\,R + g_{\mu \nu} \Lambda = {8 \pi G \over c^4} T_{\mu \nu}$

-The electro-magnetic forces are governed by QED which, for lack of a better desciption is quantum mechanics with a coulumb force which has been quantized.

-As for weak and strong I actually have no idea, it's never been relevant for me but I know they're both notoriously convoluted.

Plus, we don't have a grand unified theory. general relativity does not mesh with quantum field theory.

The four fundamental forces of nature, also known as the fundamental interactions, are the foundational principles that govern the behavior of matter and energy in the universe. These forces are gravity, electro-magnetic, weak, and strong.

Gravity is the force that attracts objects with mass towards each other. It is described by Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that the force of gravity between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. This can be mathematically represented as Fg = GM1M2/r^2, where G is the gravitational constant, M1 and M2 are the masses of the objects, and r is the distance between them.

Electro-magnetic force is the force that acts between electrically charged particles. It is responsible for the interactions between atoms and molecules, as well as the behavior of electric and magnetic fields. This force is described by James Clerk Maxwell's equations and can be represented by the equation F = kq1q2/r^2, where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the particles, and r is the distance between them.

The weak force is responsible for nuclear decay and is the force that governs the interactions between subatomic particles, such as protons and neutrons. It is the weakest of the four fundamental forces and is described by the Standard Model of particle physics.

The strong force is the strongest of the four fundamental forces and is responsible for holding the nucleus of an atom together. It is described by the theory of quantum chromodynamics and is represented by the equation F = αsQ1Q2/r^2, where αs is the strong coupling constant, Q1 and Q2 are the color charges of the particles, and r is the distance between them.

Overall, the four fundamental forces work together to shape the universe and play a crucial role in our understanding of the physical world. They are constantly being studied and explored by scientists in order to deepen our understanding of the universe and its workings.
