You measure the gravitational force between two objects - this can be done with a Cavendish balance. Then you plug in the numbers (masses, and force) into the universal formula for gravitation.

How do you calculate gravitational force from rpm?

To calculate gravitational force from rpm, you would need more information such as the mass of the object and the radius of the rotation. Gravitational force is usually calculated using the formula F = G * (m1 * m2)/r^2, where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, and r is the distance between them. RPM alone is not sufficient to calculate gravitational force.


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


Why is g called the universal constant?

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.


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.
