SUMMARY
The gravitational force at the event horizon of a black hole, defined by the Schwarzschild radius, does not increase with black hole mass. As the mass of the black hole increases, the Schwarzschild radius also increases, maintaining a constant gravitational force at the event horizon. The relationship can be analyzed using the Newtonian gravitational acceleration formula, g = GM/r², where G is the gravitational constant and M is the mass of the black hole. This leads to the conclusion that while the radius expands, the gravitational force remains constant at the event horizon.
