Based on the measured force between objects that are 10 metres apart, how can you find the force between objects that are any distance apart?

I don't think the answer is just Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation...I think it is supposed to be explained in words or something
 
If you know the force between two objects 10 m apart, then

F? = GMm / (10)²

Solve for GMm:

GMm = 100F?

So a force at any distance would therefore be:

F = 100F? / r²
