Question

Question: The gravitational force between two point masses \(m _ { 1 }\) and \(m _ { 2 }\) at separation r is ...

The gravitational force between two point masses m1m _ { 1 } and m2m _ { 2 } at separation r is given by F=km1m2r2F = k \frac { m _ { 1 } m _ { 2 } } { r ^ { 2 } }

The constant k

A

Depends on system of units only

B

Depends on medium between masses only

C

Depends on both (1) and (2)

D

Is independent of both (1) and (2)

Answer

Depends on system of units only

Explanation

Solution

k represents gravitational constant which depends only on the system of units.
