Newtons law of universal gravitation is valid for distances covering an enormous range, but it is thought

Question:

Newton’s law of universal gravitation is valid for distances covering an enormous range, but it is thought to fail for very small distances, where the structure of space itself is uncertain. Far smaller than an atomic nucleus, this crossover distance is called the Planck length. It is determined by a combination of the constants G, c, and h, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and h is Planck’s constant (introduced in Chapter 11) with units of angular momentum. (a) Use dimensional analysis to find a combination of these three universal constants that has units of length. (b) Determine the order of magnitude of the Planck length. You will need to consider noninteger powers of the constants.
