2 times stronger gravity force

Detailed explanation-1: -If the mass of one of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is doubled. If the mass of one of the objects is tripled, then the force of gravity between them is tripled. If the mass of both of the objects is doubled, then the force of gravity between them is quadrupled; and so on.
Detailed explanation-2: -Newton’s universal law of gravitation The force is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers of mass. This is called an inverse-square law.
Detailed explanation-3: -Therefore, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force is also doubled. Therefore, gravitational force becomes one-fourth of its initial force when the distance between two objects is doubled.
