What happens to the force between two objects, if (iii) the masses of both objects are doubled?
GIVEN: Force F is exerted between two objects having masses double the original value separated by a distance r. TO FIND: The force when the masses of both objects are doubled. According to the Universal law of gravitation, the force is directly proportional to the product of the mass of two objects, then F∞m1 m2 When the masses of both objects are doubled, then the gravitational force becomes 4 times. F∞(2m1 )(2m2 ) F∞4m1 m2
