The force of gravity between two objects is proportional to
(mass1) x (mass2)/(distance between them)2 , but it's not equal to that fraction. To get the actual value of the forces, you
have to multiply that fraction by a 'proportionality' constant, and since we're
talking gravity here, the constant is called the Gravitational Constant.
If everything in the fraction is in SI (metric) units, then the gravitational
constant is 6.67 x 10-11newton-meter2/kilogram2 And when you multiply the fraction by that constant, you get the actual value
of the force, in newtons.
Cavendish measured the gravitational constant "G".
The gravitational constant was found by Newton, not Einstein.
g, the force of the Earth's gravitational attraction, is not a constant.
No.
The gravitational constant was derived experimentally. Until recently, it was believed that it was a universal constant. However, developments in cosmological theories suggest the possibility that it is not a constant.
Sir. Isaac Newton discovered the formula with the universal gravitational constant.
what is dimnsion of gravitational constant
Force gravitational = (mass of the object)(the gravitational constant) F=mg "g" is the gravitational constant, it is equal to 9.8 m/s^2
No, the gravitational constant on the Moon is not the same as on Earth. The gravitational constant depends on the mass and radius of the celestial body. The Moon has a lower mass and radius compared to Earth, resulting in a weaker gravitational constant on the Moon.
Although Newton included the gravitational constant in his law of universal gravitational constant, its value was not determined until some 70 odd years after his death, when Henry Cavendish measured it in 1798.
The term "tenacity" is used to describe the constant, ongoing determination of someone. "Tenacity" is a noun that is related to the adjective "tenacious".
