Gravitational Intensity:

Gravitational intensity at a point in a gravitational field is defined as the attractive force experienced by a unit mass placed at that point.

The gravitational intensity at a point which is at a distance \( r \) from a mass \( M \) is \( E = \frac{GM}{r^2} \) , where \( G \) is the gravitational constant.

The dimension of intensity is \( [LT^{-2}] \)
