Here we will see how Gravitational Field Strength is related to Gravitational Acceleration. To determine how gravitational field strength is related to gravitational acceleration, we will use the definition of a newton, 1 N = 1 kg.m/s2. Then we will substitute kilogram-meters per second squared for newtons (N) in the equation for gravitational field strength:
1 N/kg = 1 (kg.m/s2) /kg = 1 m/s2
Meters per second squared ( m/s2 ) are the units of acceleration. So in terms of units, gravitational field strength, and gravitational acceleration are equivalent.
Unit of gravitational field strength (Newton/kg) can be reduced to 1 m/s2, which is the unit of acceleration. Hence, in terms of units, gravitational field strength, and gravitational acceleration are equivalent.
