The Janus Point Quotes

“The dimensions of the Newton constant are normally determined by the way in which it appears in Newton’s second law of motion, in which it relates the gravitational force to a resulting acceleration, making its dimensions expressed as [G] = l3t–2m–1. However, defined simply in terms of mass and distance, it has dimensions m2l–1. Finally,”
