Solution
Let ME be the mass of the Earth and m be the mass of an object on its surface. If R is the radius of the Earth, then according to the universal law of gravitation, the gravitational force (F) acting between the Earth and the object is given by the relation:-
`F=(Gm_1m_2)/r^2`
Concept: Universal Law of Gravitation
