Answer:

755.37 N

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mass of venus=
m_1=4.9* 10^(24)kg

Radius=
r=6.1* 10^6m

Mass of human=
m_2=86 kg

We know that the gravitational force between two bodies


F=G(m_1m_2)/(r^2)

Where G=Gravitational constant=
6.67* 10^(-11)Nm^2/kg^2

Using the formula

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human=
F=(6.67* 10^(-11)* 86* 4.9* 10^(24))/((6.1* 10^6)^2)

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human=F=
755.37N
