The mass of the earth is 6×10^24kg and that of the moon is 7.4×10^22kg. If the distance between the earth and the moon is 3.84×10^5km,calculate the force exerted by the earth on the moon.(Take G=6.7×10^–11 Nm^2 kg^2)

Answer:
Hello Dear.
Here is the answer---
Given Conditions ⇒
Mass of the Earth(m₁) = 6 × 10²⁴ kg.
Mass of the Moon(m₂) = 7.4 × 10²² kg.
Distance between the Earth and the Moon(d) = 3.84 × 10⁵ km.
= 3.84 × 10⁸ m.
Gravitational Constant(G) = 6.7 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg².
Using the Newton's law of Gravitation,
F = G × m₁× m₂ × /d².
F is the Force of Gravitation between the Earth and the Moon.
Substituting the Given Values in the Formula,
∴ F = (6.7 × 10⁻¹¹ × 6 × 10²⁴ × 7.4 × 10²²) ÷ (3.84 × 10⁸)²
⇒ F = (6.7 × 6 × 7.4 × 10¹⁹) ÷ (14.7456)
⇒ F = 20.1741 × 10¹⁹ N.
⇒ F ≈ 20.2 × 10¹⁹ N.
Thus, the Gravitational Force of Attraction between the Earth and the Sun is 20.2 × 10¹⁹ N.
Hope it helps.
