Estimate the value of the gravitational constant G inNewtons law of universal gravitation using the followingdata: the acceleration due to gravity at the Earths surface isabout 10 m/s2; the Earth has a circumference of about40 X 106m; rocks found on the Earths surface typicallyhave densities of about 3000 kg/m3 and assume this densityis constant throughout (even though you suspect it is not true).
