    We are given with the following:

    F = 2.58 x 10^3 N

    m1 = 4.87 x 10^24 kg

    m2 = 655 kg

    If we are asked how far is the probe from the center of Venus, we can use the formula:

    F = G m1 m2 / r^2

    G is the gravitational constant which is equal to 6.67x10^-11 m3 / kg s2

    Solving for r:

    2.58 x 10^23 = 6.67 x 10^-11 (4.87 x 10^24) (655) / r2

    r = 9.08 x 10^6 km
