Question #3
If the force of attraction between two objects each of mass 1 kg separated by 1 m is F, then force between 2 kg and 2 kg at same distance is
A. 2F
B. F
C. 8F
D. 4F

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
F ∝ m₁m₂. Initial: 1×1 = 1. New masses 2 and 2, product 4, so force = 4F. Distance unchanged. Universal gravitation F = Gm₁m₂/r².
