Strange measurements of this quantity in an Australian mineshaft led to speculation about a fifth fundamental force in the 1980s. This quantity has a power of negative one-half in the Planck mass, and it is multiplied by eight pi in the numerator of a fraction in the tensor form of (*) the Einstein field equations. This fundamental constant was measured using balls of lead and a torsion balance in an experiment by Henry Cavendish. This constant is about 6.67 times 10 to the negative 11 Newton meters squared over kilograms squared. For 10 points, name this physical constant that appears in an equation giving the force of attraction between two masses.
