  4. Gravitational constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_constant

    In addition to Poynting, measurements were made by C. V. Boys (1895) [25] and Carl Braun (1897), [26] with compatible results suggesting G = 6.66(1) × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2. The modern notation involving the constant G was introduced by Boys in 1894 [12] and becomes standard by the end of the 1890s, with values usually cited in the ...

    Assuming SI units, F is measured in newtons (N), m 1 and m 2 in kilograms (kg), r in meters (m), and the constant G is 6.674 30 (15) × 10 −11 m 3 ⋅kg −1 ⋅s −2. [12] The value of the constant G was first accurately determined from the results of the Cavendish experiment conducted by the British scientist Henry Cavendish in 1798 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-force

    One g is the force per unit mass due to gravity at the Earth's surface and is the standard gravity (symbol: g n), defined as 9.806 65 metres per second squared, [5] or equivalently 9.806 65 newtons of force per kilogram of mass.

  7. Geometrized unit system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrized_unit_system

    We can convert a mass expressed in kilograms to the equivalent mass expressed in metres by multiplying by the conversion factor G/c 2. For example, the Sun's mass of 2.0 × 10 30 kg in SI units is equivalent to 1.5 km. This is half the Schwarzschild radius of a one solar mass black hole. All other conversion factors can be worked out by ...

    In 19th-century France there was as a unit of power, the poncelet, which was defined as the power required to raise a mass of 1 quintal (1 q = 100 kg) at a velocity of 1 m/s. The German or metric horsepower (PS, Pferdestärke ) is arbitrarily selected to be three quarters thereof.
