Hello Aspirant,

See acceleration due to gravity on Moon is 1.625m/s^2. Now let us discus how it is calculated :-

The acceleration due to gravity formula is given by g=GM/R^2

Where the notations are as usual,

  • G is the universal gravitational constant, G = 6.674×10-11m^3kg^-1s^-2.
  • M is the mass of the massive body measured using kg.
  • R is the radius of the massive body measured using m.
  • g is the acceleration due to gravity measured using m/s^2.

The mass of the moon = 7.35×10^22Kg.

The radius of the moon = 1.74×10^6m

Substituting the values in the formula we get-

g=(6.67*10^−11*7.35*10^22)/(1.74×10^6)^2

Thus, the value of 'g' on moon is g = 1.625m/s^2.

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!!
