Answer:
F = 2.69 10⁻³ m [ N]
Explanation:
This exercise asks to calculate the gravitational field of the Earth on the lunar surface, let's use the universal gravitation law
F = G m M / r²
where m is the mass of the body, M the mass of the Earth and r the distance between the Earth and the Moon
F = (G M / r²) m
F = (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ / (3.85 10⁸)² ) m
F = 2.69 10⁻³ m [ N]
This force is directed from the Moon towards the Earth, therefore it reduces the weight of the body
