Detailed Solution

The value of G is 6.53×10-11 Nm2kg-2.
By the universal law of gravitation the attractive force between two bodies of masses M and separated by a distance  r is:
     F=GMmr2 ..............(1)
G=Fr2Mm   .................(2)
 Where is the gravitational constant and F is the force of attraction due to the effect of gravitation.
Given:
 Mass of the first object, M=40 kg
Mass of the second object, m=15 kg
Distance separating them, r=0.2 m
Acceleration due to gravity, g=9.8 m/s2 
    =0.1 milligram weight
F=0.1×10-6 kg wt
Therefore,
G=10-7×9.8×0.2×0.240×15
G=6.53×10-11Nm2 kg-2
