Please see below.
Explanation:
It appears that you are talking about gravitational force of attraction between two objects.
Force of gravitation between two objects is
- directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects
(2) As such when both the masses are doubled, their product will become
- inversely proportional to the square of distance between them
(1) When distance between objects is doubled, force of attraction will become
(3) When distance between objects is halved, force of attraction will become
