If the masses and mutual distance between the two objects are doubled, what is the change in the gravitational force between them?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

By Newton.s law of gravitaional
` F = (GM_(1)M_(2))/(r^(2))`
Here , the masses and mutual distance between the two objects are doubled
` F = (G(M_(1))(2M_(2)))/((2r)^(2)) = (4GM_(1)M_(2))/(4r^(2))`
` F = (GM_(1)M_(2))/(r^(2))`
There is no change in the gravitational force between them .
