Answer: In Newton’s law of gravitation, a constant relates the force of gravitational attraction among two substances to their masses and distance from one other. 6.67259 x 10-11 newton square metres per square kilogramme is the gravitational constant. G is its symbol.
The gravitational force (F) is calculated as follows:
F = GMm/r²
Or, it can also be written as G = Fr²/Mm
The masses of the bodies among whom the force of gravity is determined are M and m.
The distance between the two bodies is ‘r’.
The gravitational constant is G.
Since force is the product of mass and acceleration.
F = m × a
Force formula in dimensions = [M LT-²]
Dimensional Formula of G = [MLT-²][L²]/[M²]
= [M³L-1T-²]
