A sphere of mass `40 kg` is attracted by a second sphere of mass `15 kg`, when their centres are `20 cm` apart, with a force of `0.1` miligram weight. Caculate the value of gravitational constant.

Answer» Here `m_(1)=40kg,m_(2)=15kg`
`r=0.20m`
`F=0.1` miligram wt. `=0.1xx10^(-6)kg`
Now `G=(Fr^(2))/(m_(1)m_(2))=((0.1xx10^(-6)xx9.8xx0.20)^(2))/(40xx15)`
`=6.53xx10^(-11)Nm^(2)kg^(-2)`
