Calculate the magnitude of the average gravitational force between earth and the moon

F = G mM / r^2, where

F = gravitational force between the earth and the moon,

G = Universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10^ (-11) Nm^2 / (kg) ^2,

m = mass of the moon = 7.36 * 10^ (22) kg

M = mass of the earth = 5.9742 * 10^ (24) and

r = distance between the earth and the moon = 384,402 km

F

= 6.67 x 10^ (-11) * (7.36 * 10^ (22) * 5.9742 * 10^ (24) / (384,402) ^2

= 1.985 x 10^ (26) N
