Detailed Solution

The value of G is not depending on the mass of the interacting bodies, the space where the particles are kept, the time at which the force is considered.
The gravitational constant, denoted by the letter G, is an empirical physical constant used in Newton's law of universal gravitation and Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity to calculate gravitational effects. It is not affected by other factors because it is a constant value.
The value of is independent of the falling body's mass. The reason for this is that the gravitational force exerted by the earth on a body is directly proportional to its mass, whereas the acceleration of a body for a given force is inversely proportional to its mass.
The value of G, like other constants, is independent of factors such as medium, temperature, and pressure. The value of the earth's gravitational constant is independent of its mass and radius.
