Universal gravitational constant:
- The gravitational force between two bodies of unit masses separated by a unit distance is known as the universal gravitational constant.
- The value of the universal gravitational constant is the same at every point in the universe.
- The value of the universal gravitational constant in the SI system is given as,
⇒ G = 6.67 × 10-11 N-m2/kg2
- The value of the universal gravitational constant in the CGS system of unit is given as,
⇒ G = 6.67 × 10-8 dyne-cm2/gm2
EXPLANATION:
We know that the value of the universal gravitational constant in the CGS system of unit is given as,
⇒ G = 6.67 × 10-8 dyne-cm2/gm2
- Hence, option 2 is correct.
