Question

The gravitational force between two point masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ at separation r is given by $F=k\frac{m_1{m}_2}{r^2}$ The constant k

• A. Depends on system of units only
• B. Depends on medium between masses only
• C. Depends on both (a) and (b)
• D. Is independent of both (a) and (b)

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Depends on system of units only

k represents Universal gravitational constant which depends only on the system of units.
