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.

Are gravitational constant and gravitational force the same thing?
No.
Who founded universal gravitational constant?
Sir. Isaac Newton discovered the formula with the universal 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
How do mass and distance effect gravitational force?
The gravitational force is equal to mass1 x mass2 / (the square of the distance); all this must be multiplied with a constant, known as the gravitational constant.
