The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the moon is 1.63 m/s2
Given:
Mass of the moon, m=7.4 × 1022 kg
The radius of the moon, R=1.74 × 106 m
Gravitational constant, G=6.67 × 10-11 N m2/kg2
We know, acceleration due to gravity,
g = G × mR2
Putting the values of G, m and R in the above equation, we get
g = 6.67 × 10-11 × 7.4 × 1022(1.74 × 106 )2
g = 1.63 m/s2
