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.
What else can I help you with?
Who measured the gravitational constant G?
Cavendish measured the gravitational constant "G".
Why did Einstein have to find a gravitational constant?
The gravitational constant was found by Newton, not Einstein.
When was g the earth's gravitational constant calculated?
g, the force of the Earth's gravitational attraction, is not a constant.
Are gravitational constant and gravitational force the same thing?
No.
Why gravitational constant?
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.
Who founded universal gravitational constant?
Sir. Isaac Newton discovered the formula with the universal gravitational constant.
What is the dimension of gravitation constant?
what is dimnsion of gravitational constant
What is a measure of the gravitational force exerted on an abject?
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
IS the gravitaional constant of moon is same as earth?
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.
When was gravitational constant found?
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.
What is meant by the term tenacity?
The term "tenacity" is used to describe the constant, ongoing determination of someone. "Tenacity" is a noun that is related to the adjective "tenacious".
What is the formula for calculating weight when you know the mass?
Weight = Mass x (Local Gravitational Constant)/(Standard Gravitational COnstant)
