Step 1
The gravitational force of attraction is proportional to the product of the masses.
Write the equation for the gravitational force of attraction.
F = G m M r 2 F m
Step 2
If one of the masses is doubled, then the gravitational force between two objects is also doubled.
F = 2 F = 2 ( 2 400 N ) = 4800 N
Step 3
Answer
4800N
