![**Understanding Gravitational Force**
Newton's law of universal gravitation describes the attractive force \( F \) between two masses \( M_1 \) and \( M_2 \) separated by a distance \( d \):
\[
F = G \frac{M_1M_2}{d^2}
\]
Where \( G \) is the gravitational constant.
**Problem Analysis**
What would the value of the gravitational force be in terms of \( F \) if the masses of \( M_1 \) and \( M_2 \) were both doubled?
**Answer Choices**
- A. \( \frac{1}{2} F \)
- B. \( 4 F \)
- C. \( 1 F \)
- D. \( 2 F \)
- E. \( \frac{1}{4} F \)](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F25befd20-0d58-44de-b948-d9335e17825d%2F8b7cf1a7-b1c9-403a-94d9-d3dbea72dca0%2F0hb865p_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
