Question

The angle subtended by moon at a point on earth is 0 31’. If the distance
of moon from earth is 3.34 x 108
8

Answer 1

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the Moon is about 1.625 m/s2, about 16.6% that on Earth's surface or 0.16 ɡ. Over the entire surface, the variation in gravitational acceleration is about 0.0253 m/s2(1.6% of the acceleration due to gravity)
