Explanation:
Fgravity = G*(mass1*mass2)/D².
G is the gravitational constant, which has the same value throughout our universe.
D is the distance between the objects.
so, if you triple one of the masses, what does that do to our equation ?
Fgravitynew = G*(3*mass1*mass2)/D²
due to the commutative property of multiplication
Fgravitynew = 3* G*(mass1*mass2)/D² = 3* Fgravity
so, the right answer is 3×12 = 36 units.
