Can you determine the mass of our moon? If yes, then what do you need to know?
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 = $6.673\times10^{-1} Nm^{2}kg^{-2}$
