SUMMARY
To quadruple the gravitational force between two bags of oranges, one must either increase the mass of the bags or decrease the distance between them. Specifically, increasing the mass of one bag to four times its original mass will achieve this effect. Alternatively, reducing the distance between the bags to half of the original 4.0 meters will also result in a quadrupling of the gravitational force, as gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.
