Question

g=GM/R2, what does these symbols denote?

Answer 1

Answer:

G denotes gravitational constant... M denotes mass of the planet and R denotes the radius of the planet...

Hope it helps..

g is used for calculating acceleration due to gravity...

Answer 2

The symbols in the formula "g=GM/R2" represent the following:

• g = "g" represents the value of gravity due to acceleration. The value of the gravity due to acceleration on the surface of the earth is equal to 9.8 meters/ square second.
• G = "G" represents the gravitational constant. The value of G is equal to 6.67 × 10^-11 Nm^2/Kg^2.
• M = "M" represents the mass of the planet of concern. Mass of the earth is equal to 6 × 10^24 Kg.
• R = "R" represents the radius of the planet of concern. The radius of the earth is equal to 6.4 × 10^6 meters.
• The SI unit of acceleration due to gravity is meters/ square second.
• This formula is called the gravity equation.
