Gravitational force between two point masses `m` and `M` separated by a distance `r` is `F`. Now if a point mass `3m` is placed next to `m`, what will be the (a) force on `M` due to `m`, (b) total force on `M`?

### Given:
- Gravitational force \( F \) between masses \( m \) and \( M \) separated by distance \( r \) is given by:
\[
F = \frac{G m M}{r^2}
\]
where \( G \) is the gravitational constant.
