Common mistake
Confusing Units of Gravitational Field Strength
Students often confuse the units of gravitational field strength, thinking it is measured in newtons (N) instead of newtons per kilogram (N/kg).
Remember that gravitational field strength is defined as the force per unit mass, so it must be expressed in N/kg.
