Hi.
I would like to know if it is possible to "reverse engineer" the formula below to find (G) if Ve, M and r are all known values.
Ve = sqrt(2GM/r)
Ve would be escape velocity, G would be gravitational constant, M would be mass of planet and r would be radius of planet.
I hope I am explaining myself correctly here.
In other words how would I go about reversing the formula Ve = sqrt(2GM/r) so that is begins with G =
Kind Regards
Edwin.
