Answer:

The further the distance from the pivot the greater the force

Explanation:

Practical example below

Distance of door handle is 5m. Force is 5N

Moment = Force × distance

=5×5

=25Nm

Distance of door handle is 7m. Force is 5N

= 7×5

=35Nm

Therefore proven correct

How would the attractive force between two spheres change if the mass of one sphere was doubled?

Dominik [7]

The force of attraction between two objects can be illustrated using Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.
The relation between the different parameters is shown in the attached image.

Now, from the relation, we can deduce that the force between the two objects is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects.

This means that, if the mass of one object is doubled, then the force between the two objects will also be doubled.
