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

A

Depends on the local value of g

B

Is used only when Earth is one of the two masses

C

is greatest at the surface of Earth

D

is a universal constant of nature

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`F=G(m_1m_2)/r^2` , G is the universal gravitational constant
`F prop m_1 m_2 ` and `F_1 prop 1/r^2 rArr F prop (m_1m_2)/r^2 rArr F = G(m_1m_2)/r^2`
Hence G will be same for all pair of masses.
