A 45.5-turn circular coil of radius 4.85 cm can be oriented in any direction in a uniform magnetic field having a magnitude of 0
.490 T. If the coil carries a current of 26.7 mA, find the magnitude of the maximum possible torque exerted on the coil.

I believe this is what you have to do:
The force between a mass M and a point mass m is represented by
So lets compare it to the original force before it doubles, it would just be the exact formula so lets call that F₁
So F₁ = G(Mm/r^2)
Now the distance has doubled so lets account for this in F₂:
F₂ = G(Mm/(2r)^2)
Now square the 2 that gives you four and we can pull that out in front to give
F₂ = G(Mm/r^2)
Now we can replace G(Mm/r^2) with F₁ as that is the value of the force before alterations
now we see that:
F₂ = F₁
So the second force will be 0.25 (1/4) x 1600 or 400 N.
