Gravity causes objects to be attracted to one another. This attraction keeps our feet firmly planted on the ground and causes the moon to orbit the earth. The force of gravitational attraction is represented by the equation F=Gm1m2r2, where F is the magnitude of the gravitational attraction on either body, m1 and m2 are the masses of the bodies, r is the distance between them, and G is the gravitational constant. In SI units, the units of force are kg⋅m/s2, the units of mass are kg, and the units of distance are m.

So the problem are asking to find the value of G base on the formula of the said equation of the magnitude of gravitational attraction on either body. Base on that, the possible answer or the derived formula of the said function is G = Fr^2/m1m2. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
