Answer 2

Answer: The object having 8 kg mass will exert the maximum gravitational force on the box.

Explanation: Gravitational force is defined as the attractive force acting between any two bodies having masses
`m_1\text{ and }m_2` and are 'r' distance apart.

This force is directly proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically,

`F=(Gm_1m_2)/(r^2)`

where,

F = gravitational force

`m_1\text{ and }m_2` = masses of the two bodies

r = distance between them

G = universal gravitational constant.

• We are given a box and force is acting on it.

Let the mass of box be
`m_1`

In order to have the greatest gravitational force, the mass of the object should be also be the greatest because mass of box is fixed.

So, the object having mass 8 kg will exert greatest gravitational force on the box.
