    It all depends how far you are from either object.

    Whatever your distance is from the 25gm object, the 55gm object

    will attract you more strongly if you're less than 1.56 times that same

    distance from it.

    As long as you stay at least 1.56 times as far from the 55gm object

    as you are from the 25gm object, the gravitational attraction toward

    the more massive one will be the same or less than the attraction

    toward the less massive one.

    It's entirely up to you. You can choose which one you want to be

    attracted to more strongly, and then you can make it so.

    Like if you go close enough to the moon, then the moon will pull

    more strongly on you, even though the Earth has more than 80 times

    as much mass.

    And if you stay close enough to the Earth, then it pulls on you

    more strongly than the sun does, even though the sun has

    333,000 times as much mass as the Earth has!
