Calculate the gravitational force between the earth and the moon in newtons. The distance between the earth and the moon is 384 x 103km. Note: mass of earth = 5.9742 X 1024 kg, radius of earth = 6378 km, mass of moon = 0.073 483 x 1024 kg, radius of moon = 1737 km

The mass of Earth is 5.972 * 1024 kg, and the radius of Earth is 6,371 km. The mass of the moon is 7.348 * 1022 kg, and the radius of the moon is 1,737 km. The centers of the Earth and the moon are separated by 384,400 km. What is the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration (in m/s2) due to Earth at the near-side surface of the moon?
