Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
A man is standing on the surface of earthh.
The force acting on the man = mg….i.
Let m= massof theman = 50 kg, and
g= accelerationdue to gravity on the surface of earth
`= 10 m/s^2`
`:. W=mg' = 50xx10`
`=500 N =` Force acting onn the man ,
So, the man is also attracting the earth with a force of 500 N.`
