The force of gravitation between two masses is given as: 

F=Gm1m2r2 

where m1 and m2 are the mass of objects and r is the distance between them.

G is the gravitational constant.

m1 = 1kg = m2r = 1 m 

F=G×1×112

 F=G

Thus, the force of attraction between two-unit point masses separated by a unit distance is known as the universal gravitational constant.
