Whether the value of gravitational constant be same or different for led and copper spheres of equal mass.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Gravitational constant is the constant relating the force of the gravity between two bodies to their mass and the distance between them.
In the experiment for the calculation of gravitational constant, the relation was dependent on the mass of the objects and the distance between them. It was independent of the density of the object. Therefore, the value of G would be the same on using the copper spheres having equal mass as the lead sphere.
Conclusion:
The value of G would be the same on using the copper spheres having equal mass as the lead sphere.
