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

State whether the following statements are true or false: (a) A falling stone also attracts the earth. (b) The force of gravitation between two objects depends on the nature of medium between them. The value of G on the moon is about one-sixth ((1)/(6)) of the value of G on the earth. (d) The acceleration due to gravity acting on a freely falling body is directly proportional to the mass or the body. The weight of an object on the earth is about one-sixth of its weight on the moon.
