Using Newton’s law of gravity, compute the force due to the Earth’s gravitational field at the Earth’s surface acting on a person with a mass of 100 kg. Compare this value with the person’s weight.
I know that the formula is F= Gm1m2/d^2 i just don't know how to solve this problem with the information i am given.

Using f=ma, acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.81, so weight.is 9.81 times their mass. Weight depends on gravity, so on different planets, techinically you could weigh less, or more, while your mass is the same

Maybe you could use F=ma for weight to compare to F=Gm1m2/d^2.
I dunno... could be wrong.
