What is the value of gravitational constant G (i) on the earth, and (ii) on the moon?

Academic Physics NCERT Class 9

The value of gravitational constant $G$ is always constant everywhere on the earth and the moon also that is $G=6.67\times10^{-11}\ N-m^2kg^{-2}$.

Gravitational force on the surface of the moon is only $\frac{1}{6}$ as strong as gravitational force on the earth. What is the weight in newtons of a $10\ kg$ object on the moon and on the earth?
An object has mass of 20 kg on earth. What will be its (i) mass, and (ii) weight, on the moon?$(g\ on\ moon=1.6\ m/s^2)$.
The mass of the body on earth is $60\ kg$, what is its weight on the earth and on moon.
Is Gravitational Force zero on the Moon?
The value of g on the surface of the moon:(a) is the same as on the earth (b) is less than that on the earth(c) is more than that on the earth (d) keeps changing day by day
Moon revolves around the earth due to gravitational force $(F)$ of earth on moon. The work done by the gravitational force is $(r=radius\ of\ circular\ orbit\ of\ moon)$:$F.2\pi r$$F.\pi r$zeronegative work
The value of quantity $G$ in the formula for gravitational force:(a) depends on mass of the earth only (b) depends on the radius of earth only(c) depends on both mass and radius of earth (d) depends neither on mass nor on radius of earth
If the mass of the moon is 1/100 th the mass of the earth and the radius of moon is 1/4th to the radius of earth , what is the ratio of acceleration due to gravity on earth to that on the moon?
Fill in the following blanks with suitable words:(a) The acceleration due to gravity on the moon is about .................... of that on the earth.(b) In order that the force of gravitation between two bodies may become noticeable and cause motion, one of the bodies must have an extremely large .......................(c) The weight of an object on the earth is about .............. of its weight on the moon.(d) The weight of an object on the moon is about ..................... of its weight on the earth.(e) The value of g on the earth is about ............... of that on the moon.(f) If the weight of a body is 6 N on the moon, it will be about................on the earth.
Why is the atmosphere much rarer on the moon than on the earth?
Calculate the value of g on the surface of moon.(Mass of moon = 7.35x1022 kg, Radius of moon = 1740 km)
Calculate the value of ‘$g$’ acceleration due to gravity on the earth.
Moon revolves around the earth due to gravitational force $(F)$ of earth on moon. The work done by the gravitational force is ($r=$ radius of the circular orbit of moon) (a) $F.2\pi r$(b) $F.\pi r$(c) zero(d) negative work
If the weight of a body on the earth is $6\ N$, what will it be on the moon?
The mass of the earth is 6 × 1024 kg and that of the moon is 7.4 ×1022 kg. If the distance between the earth and the moon be 3.84 × 105 km, calculate the force exerted by the earth on the moon. (G = 6.7 × 10−11 Nm2 kg−2)
