What will the force of attraction between two objects if their masses doubles and the distance between them becomes halved?

Text Solution

Solution : when distance (d) between two bodies is a double, the gravitational force of attraction between them becomes one fourth. To keep this force constant, mass of one of the bodies has to be made 4 times.

If the masses of two objects are doubled, and the distance between them is halved, then the gravitational force acting between them becomes
