Let us consider gravitational force of attraction F between two objects of equal mass m that are sepearted by a distance d
Then we have ,

where G is universal gravitational constant
Hence Gravitational constant G is written as , 

Dimensions of force F = [ M L S-2 ]
Dimension of distance d = [ L ]
Dimension of mass m = [ M ]
Dimension of G 

if unit of mass is doubled, then present quantity of mass becomes (1/2) of modified mass .
Since gravitational constant G is inversely prportional to mass , G will be increased by a factor 2
if unit of length is doubled, then present length becomes (1/2) of modified length .
Since gravitational constant G is directly prportional to cube of distance , G will be decreased by a factor (1/2)3 = 1/8
Hence , modified universal gravitational constant G' = (2/8) G = (1/4)G
Modified universal gravitational constant G' = 0.25 × 6.674 × 10-11 = 1.668 × 10-11 N' (m' )2 (kg')-2
( Where N' , m' and kg' are modified Newton , modified metre and modified kg in new units system )
