The mass of the earth is 6×10
24
kg and that of the moon is 7.4×10
22
kg. If the distance between the earth and the moon is 3.84×10
5
km, calculate the force exerted by the earth on the moon. G=6.7×10

Given that,
Mass of the Earth m
1
=6×10
Mass of the Moon m
=7.4×10
Distance between the Earth and the Moon d=3.84×10
km=3.84×10
8
m
Gravitational Constant G=6.7×10
Nm
/kg
Now, by using Newton’s law of gravitation
F=
r
Gm
(3.84×10
)
6.7×10
×6×10
×7.4×10
14.8225×10

35
F=20.069×10
19
F=20.1×10
