Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation describes the gravitational force between two objects (like the sun and the Earth or the Earth and a satellite or the Earth and its moon)
gravitational force G = 6.67 × 10-11m3 kg-1 s-2 used in the formula, F = G (M1 * M2)
R2
where F is the gravitational force between two masses,
G is the gravitational constant in N,
m1 is the mass of the first object in kg,
m2 is the mass of the second object in kg,
R is distance apart
In some books, it is written as Cavendish experiment.

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.
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.
What is the dimension of gravitation constant?
what is dimnsion of gravitational 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
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 the formula for calculating weight when you know the mass?
Weight = Mass x (Local Gravitational Constant)/(Standard Gravitational COnstant)
When can you ignore the gravitational constant?
After you die
What is the gravitational constant for mercury?
0.38
