Given that,

Mass of a ball = 300 kg

To find,

The gravitational force acting on the ball.

Solution,

The force acting on the ball is force of gravity. It is equal to the weight of the ball.

W = mg

Substitute the value of m and g in the above formula

W = 300 kg × 10 m/s²

= 3000 N

Therefore, the ball attracts with a force of 3000 N.
