Suppose the force of gravitation between two bodies of equal masses is F. If each mass is doubled keeping the distance of separation between them unchanged, the force would become

A

F

B

2F

C

4F

D

`(1)/(4)F`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
According to the universal law of gravitation, everybody in the universe attract other body with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Therefore mass is doubled then the force acting between them F, will become4F.
