Give at least two points of difference between G and g.
Answer»
Acceleration due to Gravity(g)
Universal Gravitational constant (G)
An acceleration is produced on a freely falling body due to the gravitational force of earth is known as acceleration due to gravity.
Gravitational constant G is the numerically equal to the force of gravitation that exists between two bodies of unit mass kept at a unit distance from each other.
value of g near earth's surface is 9.8 ms-2. It may vary from place to place.
value of G is 6.67 x 10-11 N,m2kg-2 and it is an universal constant
