Question

If the distance between two masses be increased by a factor of 6,What factor would the mass of one of them have to be altered to maintain the same gravitational force.Would this be an increase or decrease in mass? Please tell correct I have increased the points.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hence, if the distance is increased by a factor of 6, we get a factor of . Therefore, the product of the two masses needs to increase by a factor of 36, which we can do by increasing the mass of each object by a factor of 6.
