Question

A body of mass $60	ext{ g}$ experiences a gravitational force of $3.0	ext{ N}$, when placed at a particular point. The magnitude of the gravitational field intensity at that point is

Accepted Answer

The gravitational force $F$ is given by $F = m E_G$, where $m$ is mass and $E_G$ is gravitational field intensity. Converting mass to kg: $m = 60	ext{ g} = 0.06	ext{ kg}$. Thus, $3.0 = 0.06 	imes E_G$, which gives $E_G = \frac{3.0}{0.06} = 50	ext{ N/kg}$.
