Define G (universal gravitational constant).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`F=G(m_(1)m_(2))/(r^(2)) therefore G=(Fr^(2))/(m_(1)m_(2))`. If we take `m_(1)=m_(2)` = unit mass and r=unit distance , numberically , G=F , i.e. G (universal gravitational constant ) represents the magnitude of the gravitational attraction between two unit masses, separated by a unit distance.
