Answer to Question #160150 in Field Theory for Lenovo

Question

Distinguish between the gravitational constant (G) and the acceleration due to gravity (g) and show the relation between them.

Answer 1

Answer

According a to physics the main

The differences between G and g I as follows G is called as universal gravitational constant and g is acceleration due to gravity. The value of G remains constant everywhere while that of g varies. G is a constant while g is the acceleration produced on a freely falling body.

relationship

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}$
