The gravitational force of attraction between two bodies is `F_(1).` If the mass of each body is doubled and the distance between them is halved, then the gravitational force between them is

A

`F_(1)`

B

`4F_(1)`

C

`8F_(1)`

D

`16F_(1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
`F_(1)=(Gm_(1)m_(2))/(r_(1)^(2))` and
`F_(2)=(G(2m_(1))(2m_(2)))/((r//2)^(2))`
`(F_(2))/(F_(1))=16`
