Question

What happens to the force between two objects, if the masses of both objects are doubled?

Answer 1

1. According to the laws of gravitation, $F=G\frac{m_1{m}_2}{r^2}$.

Where , $m_{1}and{m}_2$ are the masses of the objects.

$r=$ the distance between the two masses.

2. The gravitational force of attraction is directly proportional to the product of masses.

3. If the masses of both the objects are doubled then the force between them becomes four times.

Hence, if the masses of both objects is doubled the force of attraction will become 4 times of its original value.
