Part $01$

Force vs Mass

Step $1.$ Make sure that Mass $1$ is located at the $2$ meter mark

Step $2.$ Make sure that Mass $2$ is located at the $6$ meter mark

Step $3.$ Set Mass $1$ to $100$ kg $.$

Step $4$ Set Mass $2$ to $100$ kg $.$

Step $5$ Record the magnitude of the gravitational force between the spheres.

Step $6$ Repeat Steps $4$ through $5$ with Mass $2$ set to $\{200,300,400,500,600,700,800,900,1000\}$
