The gravitational force on two objects can be determined by the following equation:
Where G is the gravitational constant m1 is mass 1, m2 is the second mass nad r^2 is distance between these objects. Therefore, let m1 = mass of Sun 1.99x10^30 kg, m2= mass of Jupiter 1.90x10^27 kg, r is the average distance between the Sun and Jupiter 7.78x10^11 m. By plugging these values in we have:
F=4.17x10^23 N
