The unit of G is found out to be m³/kg * s².
The force of gravitational attraction is represented by the equation.
F = (G m₁ m₂)/r²
where,
F is the magnitude of the gravitational attraction on either body
m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the bodies,
r is the distance between them
G is the gravitational constant
We need to find the unit of G,
G = (F * r²)/(m₁ m₂)
Let us place the units for the above formula,
G = (N * m²)/kg²
N = kg m/s²
G = (kg * m * m²)/ kg² * s²
G = m³/kg * s²
Thus, the correct option is m³/kg * s².
The question is incomplete. The complete question is 'Gravity causes objects to be attracted to one another. This attraction keeps our feet firmly planted on the ground and causes the moon to orbit the earth. The force of gravitational attraction is represented by the equation.
F= Gm1 m2 /r^2
where F is the magnitude of the gravitational attraction on either body, m1 and m2 are the masses of the bodies, r is the distance between them, and G is the gravitational constant. In Sl units, the units of force are kg m/s^2, the units of mass are kg, and the units of distance are m. For this equation to have consistent units, the units of G must be which of the following?
a. kg^3/ms^2
b. kgs^2/m^3
c. m^3/kgs^2
d. m/kgs^2
