The force of attraction between two bodies at certain separation is 10 N. What will be the force of attraction between them if the separation between them is reduced to half?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to understand how the force of attraction between two bodies changes with distance. According to the law of gravitation, the force \( F \) between two bodies is inversely proportional to the square of the distance \( R \) between them. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the initial conditions**: - The initial force of attraction \( F = 10 \, \text{N} \). - The initial distance between the two bodies is \( R \). ...
