    The dimensions of universal gravitational constant are:

    A) \[[{{M}^{-1}}{{L}^{3}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]

    B) \[[M{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-1}}]\]

    C) \[[{{M}^{-2}}{{L}^{3}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]

    D) \[[{{M}^{-2}}{{L}^{2}}{{T}^{-1}}]\]  

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    According to Newton's law of gravitation, the, force of attraction between two masses \[{{m}_{1}}\]and \[{{m}_{2}}\]separated by a distance r is, \[F=\frac{G{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}}{{{r}^{2}}}G=\frac{F{{r}^{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}{{m}_{2}}}\]Substituting the dimensions for the quantities on the right hand side, we obtain dimensions of\[G=\frac{[ML{{T}^{-2}}][{{L}^{2}}]}{[{{M}^{2}}]}=[{{M}^{-1}}{{L}^{3}}{{T}^{-2}}]\]
