What is the ratio of acceleration due to gravity to Gravitational Constant
Asked by emraldboy | 30th Oct, 2009, 05:46: PM
Expert Answer:
g = GM/r2 at any distance r from the centre of the planet with mass M.
Hence g/G = M/r2.
For example, for earth, on it's surface, g/G = 9.8/(6.67x10-11) = 1.5 x 1011 SI units.
