    Answer: 3976N

    Explanation:

    Using the formula for calculating gravitational force between two masses, we have

    F = GMm/r^2

    Where G is the gravitational constant

    M and m are the masses

    r is the distance between the masses

    F = 6.673 * 10-¹¹ * 5.98 * 10²⁴ * 63.5 / (6.37 * 10^6) ^2

    F = 2.533*10^16/6.37*10^12

    F = 0.3976*10⁴N

    F = 3976N
