The magnitude of the gravitational attraction is [tex]4\cdot 10^{-4} N[/tex].

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by

[tex]F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}[/tex]

where

[tex]G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}[/tex] is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we have

[tex]m_1 = 60 kg[/tex] is my mass

The mass of the mountain is 100 million tons, and keeping in mind that

1 ton = 1000 kg

The mass of the mountain is

[tex]m_2 = 100 \cdot 10^6 tons =100 \cdot 10^6 tons \cdot (1000 kg/ton)=100\cdot 10^9 kg[/tex]

The distance between me and the mountain is

r = 1 km = 1000 m

Therefore, the gravitational attraction is

[tex]F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(100\cdot 10^9)(60)}{(1000)^2}=4\cdot 10^{-4} N[/tex]
