Answer:

The force between the Earth and the object is, F = 9.61 x 10⁻¹² N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the Earth, M = 5.9 x 10²⁴ kg

The mass of the object, m = 10 kg

The gravitational force between the earth and the object is given by the formula,

F = G Mm/R²

Substituting the given values in the above equation,

F = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.9 x 10²⁴ x 10 / 6.4 x 10⁶

= 9.61 x 10⁻¹² N

Hence, the force between the Earth and the object is, F = 9.61 x 10⁻¹² N
