Equal and similar charges are placed on the earth and the moon. The numerical value of charge required to neutralise their gravitational attraction is (Given: mass of earth $= 6 \times 10^{24} k g$ , Mass of moon $= 7 \times 10^{22} k g$ ) :

Q. Mass of moon is 1% mass of earth . What will be the ratio of gravitational pull of earth on moon to moon on earth

Define gravitational mass. The mass of the earth is $6 \times 10^{24} k g$ and that of the moon is $7.4 \times 10^{22} k g$ . If the distance between the earth and the moon be $3.84 \times 10^{5} k m$ , calculate the force exerted by the earth on the moon. $(G = 6.7 \times 10^{- 11} N m^{2} k g^{- 2})$
