Mass of the earth is 6 × 1024 kg and that of the Moon is 7.4 × 1022 kg. The distance between Earth and Moon is 3.84 × 105 km. Calculate the force of attraction of Earth of Moon. (G=6.7 × 10-11 Nm2 kg-2)
Added by Amara H.
Step 1
Given: Distance between Earth and Moon = 3.84 × 10^5 km 1 km = 1000 m Therefore, the distance between Earth and Moon = 3.84 × 10^5 km × 1000 m/km = 3.84 × 10^8 m Show more…

Find the gravitational force of attraction between the moon and the earth if the mass of the moon is 1/81 times the mass of the earth. G = 6.67 x 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2, radius of moon's orbit is 3.58 x 10^5 km. Mass of the earth = 6 x 10^24 kg.
