Well the universal law of gravitation states that the strength of the gravitational force attracting any 2 objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses. So if the distance between 2 objects is quadrupled, then that means that the force between them would be weakened by a factor of 16. Formula is Fg=Gm2,m2/d2
