Question

The mass of Earth is 6×10²⁴ kg and that of moon is 7.4×1100²²kg if the distance between earth and the moon is 3.84×10^5 km calculate the force exerted by the earth on the moon G=6.7×10^-11Nm² kg^-2.​

Answer 1

Given that,

Mass of the Earth m

1

=6×10

24

Kg

Mass of the Moon m

2

=7.4×10

22

kg

Distance between the Earth and the Moon d=3.84×10

5

km=3.84×10

8

m

Gravitational Constant G=6.7×10

−11
