Question

the surveyor probe left on the moon in 1966 has a mass of 270 kg. whats the force of the moons gravity on the probe?

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf F = 437.4\ N}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Mass = m = 270 kg

Acceleration due to gravity on moon = g = 1.62 m/s²

Required:

Force = F = ?

Formula:

F = ma

Solution:

Since, here acceleration = g so F = mg.

So,

Finding force of moons gravity on probe.

F = mg

F = (270)(1.62)

F = 437.4 N
