    Here are the key points about the universal gravitational constant G: - G is a fundamental physical constant that appears in Newton's law of universal gravitation and in Einstein's theory of general relativity. - Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every particle in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. - The proportionality constant between the gravitational force F and the masses m1 and m2 and distance r is the universal gravitational constant G. - The SI unit of G is N⋅m2/kg2. This means Newton (force) multiplied by meters squared (distance)

    DIMENSION

    The dimension of a physical quantity is defined as the powers to


    which the fundamental quantities are raised in order to represent that
    quantity.

    Measurement in physics involve such quantities as velocity, force,


    energy, etc. The most surprising aspect is, that all these quantities can
    be expressed in terms of M (mass), L (Length), and T (Time).
