  2. Gravitational constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

    The constant of proportionality, G, in this non-relativistic formulation is the gravitational constant. Colloquially, the gravitational constant is also called "Big G", distinct from "small g" (g), which is the local gravitational field of Earth (also referred to as free-fall acceleration).

  3. Planck units - Wikipedia

    Normalizes the characteristic impedance Z g of gravitational radiation in free space to 1 (normally expressed as ⁠ 4 π G / c ⁠). [note 2] Eliminates 4 π G from the Bekenstein–Hawking formula (for the entropy of a black hole in terms of its mass m BH and the area of its event horizon A BH) which is simplified to S BH = π A BH = (m BH) 2.

  4. Schwarzschild radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwarzschild_radius

    A small mass has an extremely small Schwarzschild radius. A black hole of mass similar to that of Mount Everest [19] [note 2] would have a Schwarzschild radius much smaller than a nanometre. [note 3] Its average density at that size would be so high that no known mechanism could form such extremely compact objects.

  5. Newton's law of universal gravitation - Wikipedia

    where F is the gravitational force acting between two objects, m 1 and m 2 are the masses of the objects, r is the distance between the centers of their masses, and G is the gravitational constant. The first test of Newton's law of gravitation between masses in the laboratory was the Cavendish experiment conducted by the British scientist Henry ...

  8. Equations for a falling body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_for_a_falling_body

    For astronomical bodies other than Earth, and for short distances of fall at other than "ground" level, g in the above equations may be replaced by (+) where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the astronomical body, m is the mass of the falling body, and r is the radius from the falling object to the center of the astronomical body.

  9. Graham's number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham's_number

    The magnitude of this first term, g 1, is so large that it is practically incomprehensible, even though the above display is relatively easy to comprehend. Even n, the mere number of towers in this formula for g 1, is far greater than the number of Planck volumes (roughly 10 185 of them) into which one can imagine subdividing the observable ...
