Question
The value of quantity G in the formula for gravitational force:
Options
depends on mass of the earth only
depends on the radius of earth only
depends on both mass and radius of earth
depends neither on mass nor on the radius of the earth
Solution
depends neither on mass nor on the radius of earth
Explanation:
depends neither on mass nor on the radius of the earth, as it is a constant in the formula for gravitational force.
