Solution
According to the universal law of gravitation, the force of gravitation between two objects is given by:-
`F=(Gm_1m_2)/r^2`
F is directly proportional to the product of masses of the objects. If the masses of both the objects are doubled, then the gravitational force becomes four times the original value.
