The value of gravitational force between the body of mass 80 kg and the earth is 781.6 N .
As per Newton's universal law of gravitation, we know that force of attraction between 2 bodies is given by F=Gm1m2r2 

Where, G is the gravitational constant 
m1is the mass of the first body 
m2 is the mass of the second body 
r is the distance between two bodies.
Mass of earth  M=6×1024kg Mass of the boy m=80 kg
The radius of the earth  r=6.4×106m 

Hence, the force of attraction between the body and the earth can be written as 
F=GMmr2       .......(i) 

Substituting the values in (i)
    F=6.67×10-11×6×1024 ×80 (6.4×106 )2 

F =6.67×10-11×6×1024 ×80 (6.4×106 )2 

F =3201.6×10-11×1024 40.96×(106 )2 

 F=78.16×10 N 

Thus, the value of gravitational force between the body and the earth is 781.6 N.
