Mass of the man (m₁) = 80 kg
Mass of the boy (m₂) = 60 kg
Distance between the man and the boy
(d) = 2m
Gravitational constant (G) = 6.7 × 10-¹¹ N m²/kg²
The force exerted by the man on the boy is given by the formula for Newton's Universal law of gravitation, i.e.
Putting the given value in the above formula, we get
Thus, the gravitation force exerted by the man on the boy is 8.04 × 10-⁸ N.
This is an extremely small force.
