Answer:

8 kg mass

Step-by-step explanation:

since 2, 4, and 6 are all less than 8, the answer is 8. Also, gravitational force is defined as the attractive force acting between any two bodies having masses and are 'r' distance apart. the greater the mass and the smaller the distance, the more force there is.

If the surface between them is the same, then the largest force exerts the body with the largest mass, ie 8 kg
