On the moon's surface, the acceleration due to gravity is 1.67 m/s2

If the radius of the moon is 1.74×106 m

Then the mass of the moon is 7.6×1022 kg.
Here, the universal gravitation constant G=6.67×10-11 kg.N/m2
Acceleration due to gravity on the moon’s surface, gm=1.67 m/s2
The radius of the moon, R=1.74×106 m
We know that, g=GMR2

Where, M is the mass of the moon. 
M=gmR2G
M=1.67×1.74×1.74×10126.67×10-11
M=7.6×1022 kg
