Question

state SI unit of gravitational constant​

Answer 1

Explanation:

“Big” G is Newton’s gravitational constant and gives the constant of proportionality in Newton’s Universal law of gravitation which is the basis of our understanding of non-relativistic gravity. The gravitational force F between two bodies of mass m1 and m2 at a distance R is:

$ F = {{G m_1 m_2}\over{R^2}} $

In SI units, G has the value 6.67 × 10-11 Newtons kg-2 m2.

The direction of the force is in a straight line between the two bodies and is attractive.

Thus, an apple falls from a tree because it feels the gravitational force of the Earth and is therefore subject to “gravity”. The acceleration g=F/m1 due to gravity on the Earth can be calculated by substituting the mass and radii of the Earth into the above equation and hence g= 9.81 m s-2.

Answer 2

Answer:

The measured value of the constant is known with some certainty to four significant digits. In SI units its value is approximately 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2. The modern notation of Newton's law involving G was introduced in the 1890s by C. V. Boys.
