Edit: As you can tell, I am not having a good day... this will be back to readable in a quick few seconds...
Ok guys so a little physics question about Gravitational constant and law of universal gravitation.
So..
(I am trying to find the force of the Sun on my body)
Everything alright so far? Good, so I have the answer, but this is where I get confused,
Google defines G as:
So when I enter the entire equation into Google (to do the math for me...)
which was:
(G *60* mass of earth)/ AU^2
It keeps the m^3.... stuff.
I look in my book it plugs in the equation like...
which makes the answer to my question ~1.06364267 milligrams, but why would the book remove the units? Does it not matter anyway or whats the deal?
