Default Re: Calculating a planet\'s mass & gravitational pull

Quote:
The kg-1 and s-2 refer to exponents in this limited UBB system. Negative means in the denominator, so the units would be: m^3 / [kg x s^2]
Ummm... I didn't understand any of that. Sorry, can you put it into language that can be understood by someone of my high mean density?

--------------------------------------------

I appologize for being hard to understand. The limitations of this UBB make it hard to use normal mathematical notation.

The units of the gravitational constant G are:

code:
                    3
m
------------------
2
(kg) (s)

Hope this helps.
