      What happens to the force between two objects, if (i) the mass of one object is doubled? the distance between the objects is doubled and tripled? (ii) the masses of both objects are doubled?

    Answer:

                      Suppose two objects of masses and are lying at a distance r from each other. The force of gravitation between two objects is given by (i) The mass of one object is doubled, i.e., mass The gravitational force also doubles, i.e., it becomes twice the original value. (ii) When the distance between the objects is doubled, i.e.,  the gravitational force, The gravitational force becomes one-fourth of the original value. When the distance between the objects is tripled, i.e., 3r; the gravitational force is given by The gravitational force becomes of the original force. (iii) The masses of both objects are doubled, mass of the object,   Mass of second object, The gravitational force is given by The gravitational force becomes four times the original value.
