Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left[\mathrm{M}^{-1} \mathrm{L}^{2} \mathrm{T}^{-2}\right]\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The dimensions of universal constant \(G\), is obtained by Newton's law of gravitation \(F=\frac{G m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{2}}\) \(\begin{array}{l} G=\frac{F \times r^{2}}{m_{1} m_{2}} \\ F=\text { Force } \end{array}\) \(r=\) Distance \(m_{1}\) and \(m_{2}\) are masses…
