Differences between Small (g) and Capital (G)

G IS THE UNIVERSAL CONSTANT OF GRAVITY WHILE   g ACCELERATION DUE TO GRAVITY

• 2
From Henderson Jubilee Sen. Sec. School, Kharar, added an answer, on 3/8/09

G is for gravitational constant

and

g is for acceleration due to gravity

• 2

Universal gravitation constant (G):-

1. 1.It is define as the force of attraction acting between two bodies each of unit mass, whose centers are placed unit distance apart.

2. 2.Its value is same throughout the universe.

3. 3.It is a scalar quantity.

4. 4.Dimensional formula for G is [M-1L3T-2].

Acceleration due to gravity (g):-

1.It is defined as the constant acceleration produced in a body when it falls freely under the effect of gravity

2.Its value changes from place to place.

3.It is a vector quantity.

4.Dimensional formula for g is [M0L1T-2].

thank you friends

• 0

and their values?

• 0
1. G is for gravitational constant1. g is for acceleration due to gravity
• 0

1.Gis gravitational constant.and g is acceleration due to gravity.

2.its unit is Nm2/kg2,its unit is m/s2

3.it is variable it is not variable.
