Formula for the force of gravity: F = G( m1 * m2 ) / d2 where: F = force G = universal gravitational constant m1 & m2 are the 2 masses d is the distance If one mass is increased by 10%, the force increases by ~20%. If BOTH masses are increased by 10%, the force increases by almost 50%. (to be precise, the factor in the first case is 1.1^2 = 1.21. In the second case, 1.1^4 = 1.46) |
