- where "r" is the distance between the particles, "G" is the gravitational constant, a is the relative acceleration and "c" represents the speed of light in vacuum.
- The value of the gravitational constant was first derived from measurements that were made by Henry Cavendish in 1798 with a torsion balance.
- Improving the value of the gravitational constant is an example of articulating a paradigm theory, which is the third class of scientific problems.
- Cavendish's work led others to accurate values for the gravitational constant ("G") and Earth's mass.
- It introduced the Gaussian gravitational constant, and contained an influential treatment of the method of least squares, a procedure used in all sciences to this day to minimize the impact of measurement error.
- The nominal solar mass parameter can be combined with the most recent (2014) CODATA estimate of the Newtonian gravitational constant G to derive the solar mass to be approximately 1.9885 × 1030 kg.
- Notable examples are the speed of light "c", and the gravitational constant "G".
- The Gaussian gravitational constant (symbol [...]) is a parameter used in the orbital mechanics of the Solar System.
- The homogeneously distributed mass of the universe would result in a roughly scalar field that permeated the universe and would serve as a source for Newton's gravitational constant; creating a theory of quantum gravity.
- Note the conventions being used here are the metric signature of (− + + +) and the natural units where "c" = 1 is the dimensionless speed of light, "G" the gravitational constant, and "M" is the characteristic mass of the Schwarzschild geometry.
- As the speed of light has an exact defined value in SI units and the Gaussian gravitational constant [...] is fixed in the astronomical system of units, measuring the light time per unit distance is exactly equivalent to measuring the product [...] × [...] in SI units.
- The gravitational constant "GM" ("μ") for Mars has the value of [...] , its equatorial radius is [...] and the known rotational period ("T") of the planet is [...] (...).
