The gravitational force between objects A and B is 4 newtons. If the mass of B were one-half as large as it currently is while A’s mass remains the same, how large is the gravitational force?

if the increase in mass of the B doesnt effect its density then gravity remains same and if it changes then gravity increases depending on the increase in density

Answer:
2 Newtons
Explanation:
According to Newton's law of universal gravitation, the attractive force (F) between two objects F = G × m(A) × m(B) / R × R where m(A) and m(B) are masses of the objects A and B accordingly. R is the distance between these two objects, G is universal gravitational constant.
If the mass of B were one-half as large as it currently is and A’s mass remains the same the magnitude for gravitational forces will be half as large as it was before, because F is proportional to the mass of the object B
