    Answer: F = 19.2 N

    Explanation: Given that the initial Force = 3.6N

    The formula involved is

    F = GMm/r^2

    Substitute the force F

    3.6 = GMm/r^2

    If one of the masses is tripled and the distance between the masses is quadrupled. We have

    3.6 = (G * 3Mm) / (4r) ^2

    Where G will be constant.

    3.6 = 3GMm/16r^2

    Separate the fraction of number

    3.6 = 3/16 * GMm/r^2

    Make GMm/r^2 the subject of formula

    (3.6 * 16) / 3 = GMm/r^2

    19.2 = GMm/r^2

    Therefore, the new force of attraction is 19.2 N
