How does the force of attraction between

The force of attraction between two bodies of masses $m_{1}$ and $m_{2}$ and separated by a distance $r$ is given by

$\mathrm{F}=\frac{\mathrm{G} m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}}$, where $\mathrm{G}$ is constant.

This force is known as gravitational force. The gravitational force is

1. directly proportional to the product of the masses of two bodies and

2. inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

The hypothesis is not correct. This is because, all bodies in the absence of any force of friction fall with the same acceleration (known as acceleration due to gravity) irrespective of their masses. Hence two bricks tied together will not fall faster than a single brick under the action of gravity.
