Question #e8f91

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

As per Law of Universal Gravitation the force of attraction `F_G` between two bodies of masses `M_1 and M_2` is directly proportional to the product of masses of the two bodies. it is also inversely proportional to the square of the distance `r` between the two. That is the force of gravity follows inverse square law.
Mathematically stated

`F_G prop M_1.M_2`
Also `F_G prop 1/r^2`
Combining the two we obtain the proportionality expression

`F_G prop (M_1.M_2)/r^2`
Follows that

`F_G =G (M_1.M_2)/r^2` .......(1)

Where `G` is the proportionality constant.
It has the value `6.67408 xx 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2`

We see that equation (1) by definition is independent of the medium in which two bodies are located.
