The force of attraction between two unit point masses separted by a unit distance is called

A

gravitational potential

B

acceleration due to gravity

C

gravitational field

D

universal gravitational constant

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

We know that, the gravitational force,

Where, F = Force between mass
m = Mass of the body
M = Gravitational Constant
r = Distant between two mass
Given, M = 1 unit, m = unit and r = 1, we get
`F=G(1xx1)/((1)^(2))rArrF=G`
Therefore , the force of attraction between two unit point massess separated by a unit distance is called universal gravitational constant.
