Question

The value of $G$ on surface of earth is $6.673\times {10}^{-11},$ then the value of $G$ on surface of Jupiter will be :

• A. $12\times 6.673\times {10}^{-11}N{m}^{2}k{g}^{-2}$
• B. $\frac{6.673}{12}\times {10}^{-11}N{m}^{2}k{g}^{-2}$
• C. $6.673\times {10}^{-11}N{m}^{2}k{g}^{-2}$
• D. $\frac{6.673}{6}\times {10}^{-11}N{m}^{2}k{g}^{-2}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C

$6.673\times {10}^{-11}N{m}^{2}k{g}^{-2}$

Explanation

1. $\text{'}G\text{'}$is a universal constant its value does not depend on the location.
2. The value of “G” remains same throughout the universe.
3. The value of “G” is $6.673\times {10}^{-11}N{m}^{2}k{g}^{-2}$
4. Thus, the value of $G$ on surface of Jupiter will be same as on Earth i.e. $6.673\times {10}^{-11}N{m}^{2}k{g}^{-2}$.

Hence option ‘c’ is correct.
