AI Generated Solution

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