Question
What happens to the force between two objects, if the distance between the objects is doubled and tripled$?$
✓

Answer

The force F is inversely proportional to the distance between the objects. So if the distance between two objects is doubled then the gravitational force of attraction between them is reduced to one fourth $(1/4)$ of its original value. Similarly, if the distance between two objects is tripled, then the gravitational force of attraction becomes one ninth $(1/9)$ of its original value.
