Question:
The various constants of physics often have physical dimensions (dimensional constants) because their values depend on the system in which they are expressed. For example, Newton's law of gravitation asserts that the attractive force between two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses divided by the square of the distance between them, or, symbolically,
where G is the gravitational constant. Find the dimension of G so that Newton's law is dimensionally compatible.
