The correct Answer is:
To find the gravitational field intensity at the given point, we can use the formula for gravitational field intensity (E), which is defined as the force (F) experienced by a unit mass (m) at that point. The formula is: \[ E = \frac{F}{m} \] Where: - \( E \) is the gravitational field intensity, - \( F \) is the gravitational force, - \( m \) is the mass of the body. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - The gravitational force \( F = 45 \, \text{N} \) (Newtons) - The mass \( m = 1.5 \, \text{kg} \) 2. **Substitute the values into the formula:** \[ E = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{45 \, \text{N}}{1.5 \, \text{kg}} \] 3. **Perform the division:** \[ E = \frac{45}{1.5} = 30 \, \text{N/kg} \] 4. **State the final answer:** The gravitational field intensity at that point is \( 30 \, \text{N/kg} \).
