Question

A `1.18` `kg` book in space has a weight of `8.34` `N`. What is the value of the gravitational field at that location, in `N`/`kg`?

Answer 1

Using the expression between force of gravity `F_g`, mass `m` of an object and `g` is value of gravitational field at that location

`F_g=mg`

Inserting given values

`g=F_g/m=8.34/1.18`
`g=7.07\ Nkg^-1`
