Answer to Problem 69A
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The distance between Earth and the Moon is
The gravitational force between Earth and the Moon is
Formula used:
Gravitational force:
Where,
Calculation:
The value of gravitational constant is
The mass of the Earth is
Then using the given values of mass of Earth, the distance between Earth and the Moon, and the gravitational force between them, the mass of the Moon will be,
Conclusion:
Thus, the mass of the Moon is approximately
