Calculate Gravitational Field Intensity







Formula

The formula to calculate the Gravitational Field Intensity (E) is:

\[ E = \frac{[G.] \cdot m' \cdot m_o}{r} \]

Definition

Gravitational Field Intensity at a point is defined as the force experienced by a unit mass placed at that point. Mass 3 is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it. Mass 4 is a reference mass placed at any field. Distance between two bodies is the measurement of how far two bodies are placed.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ E = \frac{6.67408E-11 \cdot 9000 \cdot 9800}{0.08} \approx 0.073581732 \]

The Gravitational Field Intensity is approximately 0.073581732 Newton per Kilogram.
