The force of gravitation between two bodies in the universe does NOT depend on:
Athe sum of their masses
Bthe distance between them
Cthe gravitational constant
Dthe product of their masses
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. the sum of their masses
1. Newton's law: F = G m1 m2 / r^2.
2. It depends on the product of the masses, the distance, and the gravitational constant G.
3. It does not depend on the sum of the masses.
