Carolyn Caldwell · Answer 1

The unit of gravitational field strength is Nkg^-1 ie N/kg because the formula for Gravitational field strength is g=F/m where F is the gravitational force and m is the mass, and so by process of elimination, the magnitude of the gravitational field strength at this location is:

5.0 N/kg
