This is a Physics problem. It is a Physics problem because you expect someone to provide the formula for the gravitational attraction between to masses. If you had provided the formula, then it would be an arithmetic problem. I will help you to the extent of telling you that once you have the appropriate formula, you can substitute the values you are given and do the indicated arithmetic to find the answer.

The answer to part b is that the force will increase.
