Multiple choice

The gravitational force between two bodies is F. If the distance between them becomes three times, then what will be the gravitational force?

  1. F/6

  2. F/4

  3. F/12

  4. F/9

D Correct answer
Explanation

Since gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of distance between the particles/bodies and according to given conditions of question, the distance between two body is now three times more than before, hence it is F/(3*3).
