Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

Gravitation force between two masses is reduced to 1/4th if distance is doubled.

● Explaination -

Consider two bodies with masses m1 and m2 at distance r from each other.

Gravitational force acting on the bodies is given by -

F = Gm1m2/r²

When distance is doubled -

F' = Gm1m2/(2r)²

F' = Gm1m2/4r²

F' = (Gm1m2/r²)/4

F' = F/4

Therefore, gravitation force between two masses is reduced to 1/4th if distance is doubled.

Hope this helps you..
