Mass of Earth ME is 6 imes 10^24; kg

Mass of the body m is 1 kg

The radius of the earth RE is 6.4 imes 10^6; m.

Universal gravitational constant, G =6.67 imes 10^-11N m^2 kg^-2

The magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and the body would be

\F=GfracM_Emr_E^2\ F=6.67 imes 10^-11 imes frac6 imes 10^24 imes 1(6.4 imes 10^6)^2\ F=9.77N
