(This should not be confused with g=9.8m/s/s)
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
