Question
Distance between two bodies is increased to three times its original value. What is the effect on the gravitational force between them?

Answer

Since, $\text{F}\propto\frac{1}{\text{r}^2},$ hence the force will remain only $\frac{1}{9}\text{th}$ part of its original value when the distance between two bodies is increased to three times.
