The force with which the erth attracts an object is called the weight of the object. Calculate the weight of the moon from the following data: The universal constant of gravitastion `G=6.67xx10^-11 N-m^2/kg^2` mass of the moon `=7.36xx10^22 ` kg, mass of the earth `=6xx10^24` kg and the distasnce between the earth and the `moon=3.8xx10^5` km.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B
`F= (GMm)/R^2 `
` =(6.67xx10^-11xx7.36xx10^22xx6xx10^24)/93.8xx3.8xx10^16)`
` 2xx10^20 N`.
