The gravitational force doubles.
Explanation:
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation states:
* F = G * (m1 * m2) / r²
Where:
* F is the force of gravity
* G is the gravitational constant
* m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
* r is the distance between their centers
If you double the mass of one of the bodies (let's say m1), the equation becomes:
* F = G * (2m1 * m2) / r²
Notice that the only thing that changed is the factor of 2 in the numerator. This means the force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses. Therefore, doubling one mass doubles the gravitational force.
