Two identical solid copper spheres of radius R are placed in a contact with each other then the gravitational attraction between them is proportional to r^x. Then r^x is?

gravitational attraction between two objects =
   F = G M1 M2 / d²

 where d = distance between the centers of mass of the two objects
             = 2 R

     F = G M² / (2R)² = (G M²/4) R⁻²
 
 So the force   α  (2 R)⁻²    or  R⁻²
   x = - 2

F        =GM1M2/R^2

MASS = DESITY*VOLUME

SO M1= D*(4/3 PI R^3)

       M2=D*(4/3 PI R^3)

GIVEN RADIUS OF BOTH SPHERES "R" THEY ARE ATTACHED, SO TOTAL RADIUS IS "2R"

F          = {G(D*4/3 PI R^3)(D*4/3 PI R^3)}/(2R)^2    

F           = CONSTANT PART (R^6/4R^2)

F            = (CONSTANT PART/4)  (R^4)

F             = CONSTANT (R^4)

SO THAT ATTRACTION DEPENDS ON R^4
