Question

The drawing (not to scale) shows one alignment of the sun, earth, and moon. The gravitational force that the sun exerts on the moon is perpendicular to the force that the earth exerts on the moon. The masses are: mass of sun = 1.99 × 10^30 kg, mass of earth = 5.98 × 10^24 kg, mass of moon = 7.35 × 10^22 kg. The distances shown in the drawing are rSM = 1.50 × 10^11 m and rEM = 3.85 × 10^8 m. Determine the magnitude of the net gravitational force on the moon.
