The force of gravity on a certain object is calculated through the equation,
F = Gm1m2 / r²
where F is the force, G is a constant, m1 and m2 are masses of the object and Earth, respectively and r is the distance. Substituting the known values for this item,
F = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(1 kg)(5.98 x 10²⁴ kg)/ (6.4 x 10⁶ m)²
F = 9.37 N
Answer: 9.37 N
