Problem
A graph is plotted between the gravitational force F acting between two fixed point masses and r21, where r is the separation between them.
(i) What physical quantity does the slope of this graph represent?
(ii) How will the slope change if one of the masses is doubled while the other mass and the separation remain unchanged? Give a reason.
