Problem

Two identical spheres, each of mass 2 kg2\,\text{kg}, are kept 0.40 m0.40\,\text{m} apart and attract each other with a force FF. Each sphere is replaced by one of mass 6 kg6\,\text{kg} and the distance between their centres is increased to 0.80 m0.80\,\text{m}. Calculate the new gravitational force between the spheres in terms of FF.
