How the gravitational force between two objects depends on the distance between them? What happens to the gravitational force between two objects when the distance between them is doubled?

Solution

Gravitational force F between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
That is,
                            straight F proportional to 1 over straight r squared

When the distance between two objects is doubled, the force becomes one-fourth of its original value.
