To find the mass of the moon using the given acceleration due to gravity and the radius, we can use the formula for gravitational acceleration: \[ g = \frac{G \cdot M}{R^2} \] Where: - \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (1.67 m/s²) - \( G \) is the universal gravitational constant (\( 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \, \text{N m}^2/\text{kg}^2 \)) - \( M \) is the mass of the moon (which we need to find) ...
