g, the force of the Earth's gravitational attraction, is not a constant.
Cavendish measured the gravitational constant "G".
It is m3kg-1s-2
Gravitational constant was determined by lord Henry cavendish in 1798 using a torsion balance .....G=6.67 *10^-9
Earths gravitational constant, known as g, as around 9.81 m s-1 .The word around is a tip-off that it is a somewhat inconstant constant. It varies slightly depending on your latitude, longitude, height a.s.l. and the type and extent of the minerals under your feet. This last explains why some geologists carry a handy instrument called a gravimeter.
The gravitational constant denoted by letter G, is an empirical physical constant involved in the calculation(s) of gravitational force between two bodies
Cavendish measured the gravitational constant "G".
There is no evidence to suggest that the gravitational constant 'G' is not the exact same number everywhere in the universe.
There is no fixed figure for earths gravity.The effect of earths mass (or gravity) depends on its mass and how close you are to it.the gravitational force (f) on an object (by the earths gravity) can be calculated by:.f (newtons) = (G * m1 * m2) / d^2.key:m1 = earths mass (5.974 * 10^24 kg)m2 = objects mass (kg)d = distance between their centres of gravity (metres)G = newtons gravitational constant (6.672 * 10^-11).notes:the force on the object is equal to the reaction force on the earth.
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

the pendulums gravitational energy refers to the gravitational energy of the bob (the string is considered to be mass less) the energy calculated for practical purposes is considering the mean position of the pendulum as the state of zero energy. but aesthetically the gravitational (potential) energy of a body only depends on its distance from the centre of the earth. the energy is equal to (gravitational constant(G))*(mass of earth)*(mass of bob) /(distance of bob from earths centre)
An upper case (capital) G.
