Answer:

Mass of Earth (M1) = 6×10^24 kg

Mass of Puppy (M2) = 3.6 kg

Radius (R) = 6371000 m

Universal Gravitational Constant (G) = 6.67 × 10^11

Now,

Gravitational Force = G×M1×M2 / R^2

GF = 6.67 × 10^11 × 6 × 10^24 × 3.6 / (6371000)^2

GF = 144.072 × 10^35 / 40,589,641,000,000

GF = 3549.477 × 10^20
