The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Let's call the original distance between the objects "d". The original gravitational force between them is 360 Newtons.
If the distance between the objects is now three times the original distance, then the new distance is 3d.
According to the inverse square law, the new gravitational force (F') can be calculated using the formula:
F' = (F * d^2) / (3d)^2
Where F is the original gravitational force, d is the original distance, and F' is the new gravitational force.
Simplifying the equation:
F' = (F * d^2) / (9d^2)
F' = F / 9
So the new gravitational force between the objects is 360 Newtons divided by 9, which is 40 Newtons.
