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?

Short Note

Solution

We know that law of gravitation.
F = G ( m1Xm2)/R2.
Now m1 = 2 m1
m2 = 2 m2
R = 2 R
F1 = G ( 2m1 X2 m2)/4R2.
F1 = F
So force between them remains same.
