The gravitational force exerted on the moon while it is in orbit around the planet is 1×10¹⁹ N

How do I determine the gravitaional force?

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

  • Mass of moon (M) = 1×10²² Kg
  • Gravitational field strength (E) = 0.001 N/Kg
  • Gravitational force (F) =?

From the above data, we can obtain the gravitational force as illustrated below:

Gravitational field strength (E) = force (F) / mass (M)

E = F / M

0.001 = F / 1×10²²

Cross multiply

F = 0.001 × 1×10²²

F = 1×10¹⁹ N

Thus, from the above calculation, we can conclude that the gravitational force is 1×10¹⁹ N
