⭐Given : ⭐

• Mass of the moon = 7.4×10²² kg
• Radius of the moon = 1740 km
• G = 6.7×10-¹¹

Find- acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon=??

⭐Solution :⭐

acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Moon is given by

$\boxed{g= \dfrac{GM}{r^2}}$

putting all values we get,

$g = \dfrac{1.6 \times 10^{-11} \times 7.4 \times 10^{22}} {{(1730\times 10^3)}^2}$

$g= 1.63 m/s^2$
