Can you determine the mass of our moon? If yes, then what do you need to know?
Difficulty: Medium
Yes, we can find the mass of the moon by using the law of gravitation.
$Mm=R^{2}\frac{gm}{G}$
Where Mm = mass of moon
R = radius of moon
$g_{m}$= gravitational acceleration on moon
G = gravitational constant = $6.673\times10^{-1} Nm^{2}kg^{-2}$
