Answer:

2.66×10⁻⁹ N.

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying newton's law of universal gravitation,

Fg = GMm/r²............................... Equation 1

Where Fg = gravitational force, G = universal constant, M = mass of the mercury, m = mass of the human, r = radius of Mercury

Given: M = 3.31023 kg, M = 70 kg, r = 2.4106

Constant: G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Substitute these values into equation 1

Fg = 6.67×10⁻¹¹(70×3.31023)/(2.4106²)

Fg = 2.66×10⁻⁹ N.
