Question

If the distance between two bodies is increased to 4 times, by what factor should the mass of one
of the bodies be altered, so that the gravitational force between them remains the same?
[Increased by 16 times]​

Answer 1

Answer:

If the distance between two masses is increased by a factor of 4, by what factor would the mass of one of them have to be altered to maintain the same gravitational force? Thus,mass of one of the objects has to be increase to 16 times.
