Answer: The same force

Explanation: The gravitation law gives de attraction force between masses and it is given by :

F= (G*m1*m2)/r^2

where G is the gravitational universal constant

This force is directed along the line between the m1 and m2

on each mass acts the same force with opposite direction.
