The value fo universal gravitationla constant G in CGS system is 6.67xx10^(-8) dyne cm^(2) g^(-2) . Its value in SI system is

`6.67xx10^(-11) Nm^(2) kg^(-2)`

`6.67xx10^(-5) Nm^(2) kg^(-2)`

`6.67xx10^(-10) Nm^(2) kg^(-2)`

`6.67xx10^(-9) Nm^(2) kg^(-2)`

By some means if universal gravitational constant (G) starts decreasing then

time period of revolution of earth will increase.

length of day will increase.

Earth will follow a spiral path of increasing radius.

Kinectic energy of earth will decrease.

The dimensions of gravitational constant G are :

`[MLT^(-2)]`

`[ML^(3)T^(-2)]`

`[M^(-1)L^(3)T^(-2)]`

`[M^(-1)LT^(-2)]`
