प्रश्न
How does the magnitude of this non-contact force on the two bodies depend on the distance of separation between them?

उत्तर
The magnitude of non-contact forces acting on two bodies depends on the distance of separation between them. The magnitude of force decreases with an increase in separation and increases as the separation decreases. It varies inversely as the square of the distance of separation.
