A solid lead sphere of radius 10 m (about 66 feet across!) has a mass of about 57 million kg. If two of these spheres are floating right next to each other (centers 20 m apart) in deep space, the gravitational attraction between the spheres is only 540 N (about 100 pounds). How large would this gravitational force be if the distance between the centers of the two spheres were doubled?
