Question

Find the intensity of gravitational field when a force of 100 n acts on a body 0f mass 10 kg in the gravitational field? Meritnation

Answer 1

Intensity of Gravitational field = Gravitational force/ Mass
= 100/ 10
= 10 N/m

Answer 2

The intensity of the field would be 10 N/kg

1) The intensity of a field is defined as the force exerted by it on the fundamental properties of a object like mass and charge.

2) Similarly, Intensity of gravitational field can be defined as the force exerted per unit area

3) Hence, Gravitational field intensity in this case would be

I = F/ M

I = 100/10

I = 10 N/ kg
