Question

Problem 3 As you travel from the Earth to the Moon, you must reach a point where the gravitational pull of the Moon is equal in magnitude, but opposite to, the gravitational pull of the Earth. How far from the center of the Earth is that point, and how strong is the Earth's pull there, compared to how strong it is at the Earth's surface? (Take the center of the Moon to be a distance of 3.844 ! 10^8m from the center of the Earth. The mass of the Earth is 5.97 ! 10^24kg; the mass of the Moon was given in the previous problem!)
