Newton's theories took into account the fact that the force of gravitational attraction between the Earth and other objects is inversely proportional to the distance separating the earth's center from the object's center. You will need to know the mass of the object (human being) in kilograms, then multiply it by 9.8 (that's the acceleration due to gravity). This is the gravitational force between the Earth and the human.
