    3678.33 N, Earth weight has to be given

    Explanation:

    F = (G x m1 x m2) / r²

    F is gravitational force between the satellite and earth

    G is Gravitational contant which is 6.674x10^ (-11) Nm² / kg²

    m1 is earth weight (5936x 10^ (24))

    m2 is satellite weight

    r is distance between earth and satellite

    So, F is;

    = [6.674 x 10^ (-11) x 5936 x 10^ (24) x 910 ] / (9.9 x 10^6) ²

    = 3678.33 N
