Question

How will the gravitational force change if magnitude of the distance is reduced by 8 times and masses are tied?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gravitational force F=

r

2

Gm

1

m

2

(i) : F∝m

1

m

2

So, gravitational force will increase by 4 times if mass of both the bodies are doubled.

(ii) : F∝

r

2

1

So, gravitational force will increase by 4 times if distance between them is halved.
