Question

Aparticle of mass $20$ g experiences a gravitational force of $4.0N$ along positive x-direction. Find the gravitational field at that point.

Answer 1

Gravitational field at a point is defined as

$\overrightarrow{g}=\frac{\overrightarrow{F}}{m}$

Thus, here,

$\overrightarrow{g}=\frac{4\hat{i}}{0.02}=200\hat{i}m/s^2$

Answer is $200m/s^2$ along positive x direction.
