Problem

A spacecraft measures the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by a planet when it is at three different distances: RR, 2R2R and 3R3R from the planet's centre. Let the corresponding forces be F1F_1, F2F_2 and F3F_3 respectively. Which option gives the correct ascending order of these forces? a) F1<F2<F3F_1 < F_2 < F_3 b) F1=F2=F3F_1 = F_2 = F_3 c) F3<F2<F1F_3 < F_2 < F_1 d) F2<F3<F1F_2 < F_3 < F_1
