Answer:
Fg = 4.2*10²² N
Explanation:
The gravitational force between any two masses, provided that can be approximated by point masses (comparing their diameters with the distance between them), obeys the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, which states that the force (always attractive) is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them (this as a consequence of our Universe being three-dimensional), as follows:
So, if one of the masses increases 6 times, the force between them will be directly 6 times larger, so the new magnitude of the force will be as follows:
Fg₂ = Fg₁*6 = 7*10²¹ N* 6 = 4.2*10²² N
