The gravitational field is NOT measured in newtons - the newton is a unit of force. Valid units are newtons / kilogram, or the equivalent meters / second2. At its surface, Mercury's gravitational field is 3.7 meters/second2, which is the same as 3.7 newtons/kilogram.
Gravity is a force and its effect on a mass is measured in newtons.
980 newton
On Earth 80kg equates to a force of 784.56 newtons.
The law doesn't affect gravity; it describes it.

The force of gravity, or more precisely the gravitational field, is not measured in newtons - and it isn't really a force, because the amount of force depends on the mass. Wikipedia lists Venus' gravitational field as 8.87 m/s2; this is equivalent to 8.87 newton/kg.
The units of the force of gravity, or any force for that matter, are Newtons.
If we have a force acting on a body and we know what that force is, and we also know that the force is gravity, we can solve because we know the force gravity exerts on a mass. If we take the total force acting on the body and divide it by the force of gravity per one unit of mass, we can find the number of units of mass that cause gravity to act on the object. We have 1033 Newtons of force acting on the object. Gravity pulls down with a force of 9.8 Newtons on 1 kilogram of mass. Our 1033 Newtons divided by 9.8 Newtons per kilogram = 105.41 kilograms
No. The force of gravity is measured in newtons, like any other force.
Newtons
Standard gravity is measured as 9.8 meters per second squared. This is then multiplied by the mass of something to get the force of gravity on it, which is expressed in Newtons.
980 newton
Mercury has a force of gravity of 3.7m/s2.
On Earth 80kg equates to a force of 784.56 newtons.
The acceleration of gravity on the surface of Mercury is 3.7 m/s2, compared to 9.8 m/s2 on the surface of the earth. The force between Mercury and any mass there depends on the size of the mass, just as it does on earth. The weight of any object on Mercury would be about 38% of the same object's weight on earth.
