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.
