Detailed Solution

The value of gravitational constant, G=1.7×10-9 Nm2/kg2.
Given,
m1=40 kg m2=15 kg Distance between them, r=320 cm
                                           =3.2 m F=0.1 mg
    =0.1×10-2×98 dyne     [as 1 mg= 98×10-2 dyne]
    = 98 × 10-3 dyne
    = 98×10-8N       [as 1 dyne=10-5 Newton ]
    = 9.8×10-9N
Putting values in the universal gravitational equation
     F=Gm1m2r2   G=Fr2m1m2
  G=9.8х10-7×3.2×3.240х15
  G=1.7×10-9Nm2/kg2
