Question
What will happen to the gravitational force of attraction between two objects if the mass of each is doubled and the distance between them is also doubled?
✓

Answer

We know that law of gravitation.
$F = G ( m_1Xm_2)/R^2.$
Now $m_1 = 2 m_1$
$m_2 = 2 m_2$
$R = 2 R$
$F_1 = G ( 2m_1 X2 m_2)/4R^2.$
$F_1 = F$
So force between them remains same.
