Question

How does the force of attraction between the two bodies depend upon their masses and distance between them?

How does the force of attraction between the two bodies depend upon their masses and distance between them? A student thought that two bricks tied together would fall faster than a single one under the action of gravity. Do you agree with his hypothesis or not? Comment.

F ∝ m₁m₂ and F ∝ 1/d²

This hypothesis is not correct. The two bricks, like a single body, fall with the same speed to reach the ground at the same time in case of free-fall. This is because acceleration due to gravity is independent of the mass of the falling body.
