In the relation `F=G M m//d^(2)`, the quantity G

A

depends on the value of g at the place of observation

B

is used only when the earth is one of the two masses

C

is greatest at the surface of the earth

D

is universal constant of nature

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

The quantity G is universal constant of nature. It is applied to all the body present in universe It is constant of proportionality in Newton's universal law of gravitation. The accepted value of G is `6.67xx10^(-11)Nm^(2)kg^(-2)`.
