hi friend!
What Isaac Newton deduced in forming his universal law of gravitation was that the gravitational force between any two objects is proportional to the product of the objects’ masses and inversely proportional to the square of the separation between their centers. The constant G is just the proportionality constant, but Newton did not have a way of determining the proportionality.
It was another century before that constant was determined in a very clever experiment by Henry Cavendish in about 1800. Using a torsion balance, Cavendish was able to measure the gravitational force between two lead spheres and the value of the proportionality constant could be deduced from that result.
The currently accepted value for the gravitational force constant is:
