Answer #1:
Reading between the lines, this has to be the electrostatic force.
Two "small masses" at that distance couldn't possibly attract each other with
that much force due to gravitation.
The other two forces (the weak and strong nuclear forces) have ranges that
are much much less than that.
If you wanted the number rather than the name of the force, then you just
need to look up Coulomb's Law and find how it varies by distance (the r squared
term should be a clue here). Halving the distance multiplies the force by 4.
================================
Observation:
Answer #1 is correct, and stunningly perspicacious as well.
If the centers of these masses are 10m apart and the gravitational force
between them is 10 N, then the product of the masses is 1.5 x 1013 kg2. (rounded)
You've said that they can be moved to where their centers are 5m apart.
So if, say, they are spheres, then their radii can't sum to more than 5m.
Let's say that they are two spheres with equal size and equal mass. Then for
each one, the radius is 2.5m, the volume is 65.45 m3, the mass is 3.87 x 106 kg,
and the density is 59,175 gm/cm3 .
Just now, I have nothing to compare that density to, so I'm not sure whether
you have a pair of baby black holes there, or simply a few cupfulls of plain old
nuclear fluid or Sirius-B.
-- You remember when the class was learning that the mutual forces of gravity
are inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the masses.
-- You scratch your head wondering what the heck that means.
-- You take it to a friend who was awake and listening that day, and he explains how
it means that when you cut the distance in half, the force becomes 4 times stronger.
-- As soon as you hear that, you realize how easy the problem is, and you whip out
the answer with no trouble at all.

The force of gravity is a force between any masses. The force is always attractive. Larger masses attract one another more strongly; on the other hand, at greater distances the force is less.
Gravity is the cause of forces that attract every pair of masses toward each other. If one of the masses is the Earth and the other one is you, then you call the force your "weight".
Well, an electric force can be attractive or repulsive and it is the STRONGEST force in nature. And to feel this force, small changes might be involved.So, the question is: The Electric Force between two charged objects depends on which of the following?A) Their masses and their separationB) Their speedsC) their charge and their separationD) their masses and their chargeAnswer: C) Their charge and their separation.Why? Because the force between electric charges depends on the distance between charges (the force decreases as the charges get farther apart) and it depends on the force the electric charges exert on each other. And negative charge and positive charge do attract but positive and positive charge don't attract and negative and negative don't attract.
-- It always attracts, never repels. -- The gravitational force is always equal on both of the masses that attract each other.
Obviously two magnets are bonded with each other and can only be pulled apart by another force.
It is the same general principle as in many other situations. Masses attract one another, through a force known as gravity.It is the same general principle as in many other situations.

A force called "gravity" makes that any mass attract any other mass. The larger the masses, the stronger will the force be. The greater the distance, the smaller will this force be.

Gravity is an effect of mass. Two masses will attract each other proportional to their masses and the force varies by the inverse square of the distance.
We do! The strength of the force depends on our masses and the distance between us. The gravitational force between two 200-pound people standing 3-feet apart, is about 0.0000024 ounce of force. If one of the people had the mass of the Earth and they stood 4,000 miles apart, then the force would be 200 pounds.
Gravity is the cause of forces that attract every pair of masses toward each other. If one of the masses is the Earth and the other one is you, then you call the force your "weight".
The mutual force with which every two masses attract each other because of gravity is referred to as the "weight" of the objects.

the law was," Every matter in the universe attract each other by a line joining them with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.''From Sambit PalIndia.
