Detailed Solution

The gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the Jupiter is 1.9 × 1027 kg.
Given:
The mass of the planet Jupiter is m1= 1.9 × 1027 kg The mass of the Sun is m2=1.99 × 1030 kg
The mean distance of Jupiter and Sun is r=7.8 × 1011 m
According to Newton’s Law of Gravitation, we get the gravitational force (F)
F= Gm1m2r2 F= 6.67 × 10-11 × 1.9 × 1027 × 1.99 × 1030 (7.8 × 1011 )2
F= 4.15 × 1023 N
