How does the gravitational force change between two objects when a the distance between them is reduced to half B the mass of one object is doubled?

Text Solution

Solution : As gravitational force between two object, `F prop (m_(1)m_(2))/r^(2)` thereforce, <br> (i) when mass of one object is doubled, the force become twice. (ii) when distance between the objects is doubled, force become `(1//4)` of its previous value. When distance between the objects is tripled, the force become `(1//9)` of its previous value . (iii) when masses of both object are doubled, force becomes 4 times.

If the mass of one object is doubled and mass of other remains the same, moreover if distance between them is halved then how does the gravitational force change?
