Given that,

Mass of the monkey, m = 16.8 kg

The acceleration due to gravity on the Earth, g = 9.8 m/s²

To find,

The gravitational force acting on the monkey.

Solution,

Gravitational force acting on the monkey is equal to its weight. It is given by :

W = mg

Putting all the values,

W = 16.8 kg × 9.8 m/s²

= 164.64 N

Hence, the gravitational force acting on the monkey is 164.64 N.
