Answers
The given question is the gravitational force of attraction between two objects having fixed mass vary if the distance between them is tripled.
we have to find how it takes place.
It is found by using the formula
Where -G is the universal gravitational constant equal to
m1 is the mass of body one
m2 is the mass of body two
r is the distance between the two bodies
From the equation we realise that Force is inversely proportional to(distance squared), so tripling the distance will cause the force is be a ninth (
If the separation distance between any two objects is tripled (increased by a factor of 3), then the force of gravitational attraction is decreased by a factor of 9 (3 raised to the second power).

Concept
For two particles of mass m₁ and m₂, the gravitational force between them is given by an empirical relation
F = Gm₁m₂ / r², ...(1)
where r is the distance between the two particles,
G is a constant, called the Gravitational constant.
Given
- The distance between the two bodies is tripled.
- The masses of the two bodies are held fixed in changing the distance.
Find
How the force between the two masses varies.
Solution
Distances between the bodies
Let the initial distance between them be r₁, and the final distance be r₂. It is given that the final distance is three times the initial distance i.e.,
r₂ = 3r₁ . ...(2)
Initial force between the masses
Using the relation (1) the initial force between the two bodies is
F₁ = Gm₁m₂ / r₁². ...(3)
Final force between the bodies
Again using the relation (1) the final force between the two bodies is
F₂ = Gm₁m₂ / r₂². ...(4)
Relation between the initial and final forces
Using the value of r₂ from equation (2) the above equation becomes
F₂ = Gm₁m₂ / (3r₁)² = Gm₁m₂ / 9r₁².
Using the equation (3) in the above equation we get,
F₂ = F₁ / 9.
The force between the two bodies is reduced by a factor of 9.
