According to Newtons formula for gravitational force
F=(G M1×M2)/(R^2)
Where M1 and M2 are masses while R is the distance between the masses
So if we double both masses by keeping distance constant as
2M1 ×2M2=4 M1×M2
So F =4(G×M1×M2)/(R^2)
Hence the gravitational force increases 4 times before if both masses are doubled by keeping R constant
F=(G M1×M2)/(R^2)
Where M1 and M2 are masses while R is the distance between the masses
So if we double both masses by keeping distance constant as
2M1 ×2M2=4 M1×M2
So F =4(G×M1×M2)/(R^2)
Hence the gravitational force increases 4 times before if both masses are doubled by keeping R constant
