What happens to the force between two objects, if
The mass of one object is doubled?

Solution

According to the laws of gravitational, $F = G \frac{m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}}$ .
Where, $m_{1} a n d m_{2}$ are the masses of the object, r= distance between both masses.
2. Force is directly proportional to the product of masses.
3. On increasing the mass of one body the gravitational force of attraction will also increase proportionally.
Hence, if the mass of one object is doubled then the force between them also gets doubled.
