Answer:
he mass ofhte earth ,M=6×1024kg
the mass of the moon ,
m=7.4×1022
the distance between the earth and the moon,
d=3.84×105km
=3.84×105×1000m
=3.84×108m
G=6.7×10−11Nm2kg−2
From Eq . (10.4) ,the force exerted by the earth on the moon is
F=GM×md2
=6.7×10−11Nm2kg−2×6×1024kg×7.4×1022kg(3.84×108m)2
=2.02×1020N.
Rhus the force exerted by the earth on the moon is 2.02×1020 N.
hope its help
