Elsa Vincent · Answer 1

- - There are three pairs of mass with gravitational forces between them.

- - The distances between the masses are the same for each pair.

- - The only other quantity that determines the strength of the gravitational

force is the product of the masses.

- - The product of the masses is greatest for the apple and the watermelon,

so the strength of the gravitational force between them is the greatest.
