1.
Force of gravitation is inversely proportional to square of distance between two objects.
F ∝ 1/d^2
From above if distance is tripled force will become 1/9 of its initial.
2.
Force of gravitation is directly proportional to product of their masses.
F ∝ Mm
If mass of both the objects is doubled then the force becomes quadrupled.
