How is the gravitational force between two point masses affected when they are dipped in water keeping the separation between them the same?

उत्तर
The gravitational force is unaffected by the medium, and it remains the same between the point masses irrespective of their surrounding. Therefore, when the two-point masses are dipped in water, the gravitational force between them remains the same.

If you compare the gravitational force on the Earth due to the Sun to that due to the Moon, you would find that the Sun’s pull is greater than the Moon’s pull. (You can check this yourself using the data available in the succeeding exercises). However, the tidal effect of the Moon’s pull is greater than the tidal effect of Sun. Why?
