The radius and mass of the Earth are r = 6378 × 103 meters and m1 = 5.9742 × 1024 kg, respectively. Mr. Jones has a mass of X kg. Prompt the user to input X and then calculate the gravitational force (F ) and acceleration due to gravity (g) caused by the gravitational force exerted on him by the Earth. Remember, F = G(m1)(m2)/(r 2 ) and F = mg. Let the universal gravitational constant G = 6.67300 × 10−11 (in units of m3 kg−1 s−2 assuming the MKS [Meter-Kilogram-Second] system). Check that the resulting value of g is close to 9.8 m/s2
