F=ma which is newtons second law. so we have here a=g in this situation and g=gravity and that equals 9.80m/s^2 on earth surface. So we have F=5.7kg*9.80m/s^2=55.9N or Newtons. Thank You! Please rate! 

Answer:

Force of gravity, F = 55.86 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the package, m = 5.7 kg

We know that acceleration due to gravity on the earth is, [tex]a=g=9.8\ m/s^2[/tex]

Force of gravity acting on the package on the earth is given by :

[tex]F=m\times g[/tex]

[tex]F=5.7\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2[/tex]

[tex]F=55.86\ N[/tex]

So, the force of gravity on the earth is 55.86 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
