From Newton's law of gravity, the force of gravity is 245 Newtons
To calculate the force of gravity of a 25kg block resting on the earth of mass M = 5.97x10^24kg with the radius r of the earth is 6.38x10^6m, let us first list out all the given parameters
Mass m = 25 kg
Mass of the earth M = 5.97x10^24kg
Radius r = 6.38x10^6m
Force F = ?
The formula to calculate the force of gravity is
F = (GMm)/[tex]r^{2}[/tex]
Where G = 6.67 x [tex]10^{-11}[/tex]
Substitute all the parameters
F = (6.67 x [tex]10^{-11}[/tex] x 5.97x10^24 x 25) / (6.38x10^6)^2
F = 9.9 x [tex]10^{15}[/tex] / 4.07 x [tex]10^{13}[/tex]
F = 244.56 N
F = 245 Newtons (approximately)
Therefore, the force of gravity is 245 Newtons
