The  gravitational force exerted by the earth on a person standing on the earth's surface is 602.74 N.

What is the gravitational force of the earth on the person?

The gravitational force exerted by the earth on a person standing on the earth's surface is given below as follows:

  • [tex]F = \frac{Gm^{1}m^{2}}{r^{2}}[/tex]

where

G = 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹

m¹ = 62 kg

m² = 5.97 * 10²⁷ kg

r = 6.4 * 10⁶ m

[tex]F = \frac{5.97*10^{24}*62*6.67*10^{-11}}{(6.4*10^{6}){2}} = 602.74\:N[/tex]

Therefore, the gravitational force exerted by the earth on a person standing on the earth's surface is 602.74 N.
