Who introduced the value of G for the first time. - Gravitation
1 Answer
Henry Cavendish is the scientist who introduced the value of G for the first time with the help of sensitive balance.
G is the constant of proportionality also known as the universal gravitation constant. Henry Cavendish determined value of G experimentally in 1798 , a century later after newtons law was given. Henry Cavendish used torsion balance to determine the value of G.
