The gravitational force Fg between two objects does not depend on
The gravitational force \( F_g \) between two objects is given by the formula \( F_g = G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} \), where \( G \) is the gravitational constant, \( m_1 \) and \( m_2 \) are the masses of the objects, and \( r \) is the distance between them. The force depends on the product of the masses, not their sum. Therefore, the correct option is 'sum of the masses'.
