Moon takes `27.3` days to complete one revolution around the earth , in a cirular orbit of radius `3.9xx10^(5)`km. Calculate the centripetal acceleration of the moon .

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the centripetal acceleration of the Moon, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the time period from days to seconds. The time period \( T \) is given as \( 27.3 \) days. We need to convert this into seconds. \[ T = 27.3 \text{ days} \times 24 \text{ hours/day} \times 60 \text{ minutes/hour} \times 60 \text{ seconds/minute} \] ...
