title: Am I doing this correctly? Beginner python
body: <ol>
  <li>Prompt user for X(which is Mr Jones weight in Kilo Grams)</li>
  <li>calculate the graviational force(F) and acceleration due to gravity(g) caused by the gravitational
  force exerted on him by the earth.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>gravitational force(F): F= G (m1)(m2) / (r**2) and F = mg</p>
  
  <p>Universal gravitational constant:  G= 6.67300 X 10 **-11</p>
  
  <p>check to see that the resulting value of (g) is close to 9.8 m/s**2</p>
  
  <p>other variables:</p>
  
  <p>radius_earth = 6378 * 10 ** 3</p>
  
  <p>mass_earth = 5.9742 * 10 ** 24  # m1</p>
  
  <p>now this is this what I am suppose to get? 9.8 m/s**2???????</p>
  
  <p>this is what I put:</p>
  
  <pre><code>radius_earth = 6378 * 10 ** 3
  
  mass_earth = 5.9742 * 10 ** 24  # m1
  
  jones_mass = input("Mr Jones Mass in kilograms is: ")  #m2
  
  float_mass = float(jones_mass)
  
  gravity = 6.67300 * 10 ** -11
  
  force = gravity * mass_earth * float_mass / (radius_earth ** 2) 
   #gravitational force
  
  print(force)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>because when  I input 1 I get this result:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Mr Jones Mass in kilograms is: 1
  
  9.80013035755848
  
  &gt;&gt;&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Am I doing this correctly since it says the answer should be equivalent to 9.8 ms/**2?</p>
