Question

Earth attracts the Moon with gravitational force of $F$, the gravitational force with which the Moon attracts the Earth is.

• A. less than $F$
• B. more than $F$
• C. $F$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $F$

Gravitational force between two objects of masses $M$ and $m$ separated by distance $r$ is given by:
$\frac{GMm}{r^2}$
This force is same for both the objects. If Earth attracts Moon with a force $F$, then Moon also attracts the Earth with the same force $F$.
