Two bodies of masses m, and my at the distance of r, exert a gravitational force F on each other. The F is defined as `F = (Gm_1 .m_2)/(r^2)` , where G is a constant. The value of G depends upon

A

the unit system

B

medium between the masses (bodies)

C

the unit system and medium between the masses (bodies) both

D

(not depends) the unit system and medium between the masses (bodies)

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
According to the question,
`F = (Gm_1m_2)/(r^2)`
` rArr G = (Fr^2)/(m_1m_2)`
From Eq. (ii), it is clear that the value of G depends on force, mass and the distance between the mass.
