Force of attraction between two objects.

F = \(\frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\)

where m1, m2 = masses of the objects

r = Distance between the objects.

G = Gravitational constant.

(i) If mass of one object is doubled, then the new force

∴ force becomes double.

(ii) If the distance between the objects is tripled, then new force

∴ force becomes one-ninth.

iii) If masses of both objects are doubled, then new force.

i.e. force becomes four times.
