In 1789 Henry Cavendish measured G
G is called The universal gravitational constant because at any point of the universe the value of G is constant. G=6.67*10^-11 N m^2/kg^2...!!!!1
It means that the force of electrical attraction (or repulsion) between two particles with units charges will be greater than the gravitational attraction between two particles with unit mass which are the same distance apart.
It is the measure of the gravitational force experienced between any two bodies, anywhere in the universe. So, the same number is used to calculate the gravitational attraction between bodies anywhere in the universe. There are, however, some questions as to whether is is (or was) a constant over time.
The answer depends on the units used for 2.500: pounds, milligrams, tons?
