The gravitational force between two objects is F. If the masses of both objects are halved without changing distance between them, then the gravitational force would become


Gravitational Force F = G m1 m2 / r2


Where, m1, m2 are masses of two objects and r is distance between them.


When the masses are halved then F =


= (Gm1m2/ r2 )


= F/4
