This appears in a test for primary students and it says like this "What is the measure of the pull of gravity on an object?" There is no more context. Sorry and thanks for your help.

fuerza de gravedad
Because of the context, it seems coherent with the meaning of "force of gravity". You can find it in the link below.

In the link below you can find an explanation about "Fuerza de Gravedad". I think that the most natural way to do this question would be: "¿Cuál es la (unidad) de medida de la fuerza de gravedad sobre un objeto?". So, the answer to this question is explained in the aforementioned link, which is: "se mide con el newton (N)". I hope this helps.

Note from asker:
| I used fuerza de la gravedad but I would like to know if this is correct or not. Thanks anyway. |

: Aunque "atracción de la gravedad" es correcto, "fuerza de gravedad" es mas natural

fuerza de gravedad
I tend to agree with Rodrigo, in which case I'd transfer that sentence as follows:
¿Cuál es la unidad utilizada para medir la fuerza de gravedad (sobre un objeto)?
leaving (de medida) out, since we are using the ver "medir" and instead focus on "unidad"
