Observing Figure \ref{fig:m1graph}, there is a linear trend between the gravitational force and the mass of object 1.
This can be represented by the proportionality:
\[
F_g \propto m_1
F_g \propto m_1.
\]
Hence, the relationship can be described witht eh below equation, where $k_1$ is simply a constant:
Hence, the relationship can be described with the below equation, where $k_1$ is simply a constant:
\begin{equation}
F_g = k_1 \times m_1
\label{eq:grav_force}
\label{eq:m1}
\end{equation}
Applying the same logic to Table \ref{tab:grav_m2} yields the following relationship between $F_g$ and $m_2$

\end{figure}
Note that again, there is a linear trend, implying
\[
F_g \propto m_2.
\]
Hence, the relationship can be described with the below equation, where $k_2$ is simply another constant:
\begin{equation}
F_g = k_2 \times m_2.
\label{eq:m2}
\end{equation}
Looking at equation \ref{eq:m1} and \ref{eq:m2}, they can be safely combined into one equation, where there is yet another constant of proportionality $k_3$:
\begin{equation}
F_g = k_3 (m_1 \times m_2).
\label{eq:m1and2}
\end{equation}
Note, that when $m_1$ and $m_2$ are the same, equation \ref{eq:m1and2} simplifies to
\[
F_g = k_3 \times m^2.
\]
Looking at Table \ref{tab:grav_equal}, this derived relationship can be verified by graphing as follows:
\begin{figure}[h!] % h! = “here” placement
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{Force vs Mass m1 m2} % <-- your image file name
\caption{$F_g$ vs mass of $m_1$ = $m_2$}
\label{fig:m1m2graph}
\end{figure}
As suggested by equation \ref{eq:m1and2}, there is a proportional quadratic relationship between the masses of the objects and the resulting gravitational force (see Figure \ref{fig:m1m2graph}).
Therefore, equation \ref{eq:m1and2} is validated by the simulation.
