Answer:

It is true that Smaller the surface area greater the gravitational force and vice versa

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational force depends on the distance between the two objects

F=GMm/r2

where G = gravitational constant

M = mass of one object

m = mass of second object

r is the distance between the two objects

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two objects. Hence, it can be said the Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the area and hence as the area increases gravitational force will decrease or vice versa
