Would the investigator be able to survive visiting even 876 km from the center? Answer this by finding the difference in the gravitational attraction (in N) the black hole exerts on a 1.0 kg mass at the head and at the feet of the investigator.

Question

If the Sun were to collapse into a black hole, the point of no return for an investigator would be approximately 3 km from the center singularity. Would the investigator be able to survive visiting even 876 km from the center? Answer this by finding the difference in the gravitational attraction (in N) the black hole exerts on a 1.0 kg mass at the head and at the feet of the investigator. (Assume the investigator is about 2 m tall and is oriented radially with respect to the black hole. Enter the magnitude.)
