उत्तर

If the distance between the two objects is doubled, then

F'' = `(Gm_1m_2)/(2R^2)`

= `1/4 xx (Gm_1m_2)/(R^2)`

= `1/4` F

= `F/4`

Thus, the gravitational force between the two objects becomes one-fourth.

If the distance between the two objects is tripled, then

F′′′ = `(Gm_1m_2)/(3R)^2`

= `1/9 xx (Gm_1m_2)/R^2`

= `1/9 xx F`

= `F/9`

Thus, the gravitational force between the two objects becomes one-ninth.
