The SI unit of universal gravitational constant is

Content Curator

The SI unit of the universal gravitational constant (G) is m³ kg^-1 s^-2. This unit is used to express the strength of the gravitational interaction between two masses.

The unit is derived from the formula for the gravitational force between two masses:

F = G * (m1 * m2) / r²

where F is the force of gravity, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between them. In this formula, the units of G are such that when multiplied by the masses (in kilograms) and divided by the distance (in meters) squared, the result is a force (in newtons).

Thus, the unit of G can be expressed as m³ kg^-1 s^-2, which indicates that it is a measure of the strength of the gravitational interaction between two masses in cubic meters per kilogram per second squared.
