As we learnt

 

Gravitational mass -

 

m_g=\frac{F}{GM/R^{2}}=\frac{F}{I}

m_g= Gravitational mass

I\rightarrow Gravitational field intensity

 

- wherein

Mass which determines the gravitational pull acting upon it,

 

 F=\frac{GM_em_g}{R^2}\: \: or\: \: m_g=\frac{F}{\frac{GM}{R^2}}= \frac{F}{I}

If I=1, then m_g=F

Hence gravitational mass is defined for unit field intensity.
