Which of the following statements about the universal gravitational constant, G, is true?

  • A. It is fundamental quantity.
  • B. It has dimension M-1L3T-2
  • C. Its S.I. unit is N m2kg
  • D. It is a vector quantity

Correct Answer: B. It has dimension M-1L3T-2

Explanation

The universal Gravitational constant(G) is a scalar quantity as it is not in a particular direction.

dimensional formula =M-¹L³T-²

S.I. unit = Nm\(^2\)/kg\(^2\)
