The gravitational force acting on the man is 800 N towards the Earth's centre
Explanation:
The weight of an object on the Earth is exactly the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.
The gravitational force exerted by the Earth on an object located at the Earth's surface is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
m is the mass of the object
R is the radius of the Earth
And the direction of the force is towards the Earth's centre.
Since G, M and R are constant, they are grouped into a single constant called g, acceleration of gravity:
therefore the gravitational force can be rewritten as
And this is the usual equation that we use to calculate the weight of an object.
Therefore, weight and gravitational force acting on an object on Earth are the same thing: so, the gravitational force acting on the man is equal to his weight, 800 N, and it acts towards the Earth's center.

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
Two plane mirrors intersect at right angles. A laser beam strikes the first of them at a point 11.5 cm from their point of intersection, as shown in the figure.
For what angle of incidence at the first mirror will this ray strike the midpoint of the second mirror (which is 28.0 cmcm long) after reflecting from the first mirror
Answer: angle of incidence is 39.4°
Explanation:
Given that;
two plain mirrors intersect at right angle (90°)
distance d = 11.5 cm
S = 28.0 cm
Now the angle that the reflection ray males with first the mirror equal theta (∅)
so
tan∅ = (S/2) / d
tan∅ = (28/2) / 11.5
tan∅ = 14 / 11.5
tan∅ = 1.2173
∅ = tan⁻¹ (1.2173)
∅ = 50.6°
so angle of incidence = 90° - ∅
= 90° - 50.6°
= 39.4°
Therefore angle of incidence is 39.4°
