What happens to the force between two bodies, if
(i) the mass of one body is doubled?
(ii) the distance between the bodies is doubled and tripled?
(iii) the masses of both bodies are doubled?

Solution

Gravitational Force, F = G  fraction numerator straight m subscript 1 straight m subscript 2 over denominator straight r squared end fraction
(i) The force gets doubled on increasing the mass of the body (m1 or m2).
New force becomes, 
                      straight F apostrophe space equals straight G fraction numerator left parenthesis 2 straight m subscript 1 right parenthesis space straight m subscript 2 over denominator straight r squared end fraction space equals space 2 straight G fraction numerator straight m subscript 1 straight m subscript 2 over denominator straight r squared end fraction space equals space 2 straight F

(ii)
a) When distance between the bodies is doubled,

i.e. the force becomes one fourth of the original force. 
b) When the distance between the two bodies is tripled,

       straight F apostrophe space equals space straight G fraction numerator straight m subscript 1 straight m subscript 2 over denominator left parenthesis 3 straight r right parenthesis squared end fraction space equals space 1 over 9 straight G fraction numerator straight m subscript 1 straight m subscript 2 over denominator straight r squared end fraction space equals space 1 over 9 straight F 
i.e. the force becomes one ninth of the original force. 
(iii) When the masses of both sids are doubled,
                 straight F apostrophe space equals space straight G fraction numerator left parenthesis 2 straight m subscript 1 right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis 2 straight m subscript 2 right parenthesis over denominator straight r squared end fraction space equals space 4 straight G fraction numerator straight m subscript 1 straight m subscript 2 over denominator straight r squared end fraction space equals space 4 straight F
i.e, the force becomes four times the original force when masses of both bodies are doubled.
