Detailed Solution

The above statement is False..
The force of gravitation F between the masses M and m which are placed in a distance R is given as
F=GMmR2
G=6.67 × 10-11m3 kg-1s-2 The universal gravitational constant G is the gravitational force acting between two bodies of unit mass M=m=1 kg, kept at a unit distance from each other R=1 m.
G=FR2Mm
The acceleration due to gravity = g  Given ,
g=GMR2
Where G is universal gravitational constant and M is the mass of the body.
The correct statement would be that the acceleration due to gravity 'g' is not a universal gravitational constant G.
