Exercise 2

Gravitational acceleration on the Moon

Theory used: Gravitational acceleration at the surface

The Moon has mass $M_{L} = 7.35 \cdot 1 0^{22} kg$ and radius $R_{L} = 1.74 \cdot 1 0^{6} m$ . Compute the gravitational acceleration at its surface ( $G = 6.67 \cdot 1 0^{- 11} N \cdot m^{2} /k g^{2}$ ).
