What is Gravitational constant "G"? by Bikash Shrestha

Gravitational constant "G" is called as universal gravitational constant and is defined as the gravitational force of attraction between two unit masses( having mass 1 Kg each) separated by unit distance(1 m). Its value is found to be  6.67 x 10-11 NM2/Kg2. It is independent of shape, size and distance between the masses. So ,it is termed as universal gravitational constant.
