 How is the gravitational force between two point masses affected when they are dipped in water keeping the separation between them the same ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`implies` Gravitational force `F = (Gm_(1)m_(2))/r^2` is independent  of the nature of medium between them. Therefore it will remain constant.
