If the mass of one of the objects is doubled then the force of gravity between them is doubledSince gravitational force is inversely proprtional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects, more separationdistance will result in weaker gravitational forces
f'=GMm/(2r)^2
=GMm/4r^2
f'=1/4 F, THE FORCE becomes 1/4 times
f'=GMm/(2r)^2
=GMm/4r^2
f'=1/4 F, THE FORCE becomes 1/4 times

Gravitational force (F) is inversely proportional to square of distance between two objects.
F ∝ 1/d²
∴ If distance (d) is doubled then F becomes 1/4th of its initial value.
F ∝ 1/d²
∴ If distance (d) is doubled then F becomes 1/4th of its initial value.
