Problem 9-56 Vector Gravitational Field - sin 72 (cos 18) - A
A spaceprobe is at the position shown in the figure. Use components to determine the gravitational acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the probe due to the effects of the earth and moon. The masses of the earth and moon are \(6.0 \times10^{24}\; kg\) and \(7.4 \times 10^{22} \; kg\), respectively.
Accumulated Solution
\(g = GM/r^2\)
Correct. Now go back to the original question.
