    Find the acceleration of the moon with respect to the earth from the following data : Distance between the earth and the moon = 3.85 × 105 km and the time taken by the moon to complete one revolution around the earth = 27.3 days.
    Ans : Distance between the Earth and the Moon:
    `` r=3.85\times {10}^{5}\,\mathrm{\,km \,}=3.85\times {10}^{8}\,\mathrm{\,m \,}``
    Time taken by the Moon to revolve around the Earth:
    `` T=27.3\,\mathrm{\,days \,}``
    `` =24\times 3600\times 27.3\,\mathrm{\,s \,}=2.36\times {10}^{6}\,\mathrm{\,s \,}``
    `` ``
    `` \,\mathrm{\,Velocity \,}\,\mathrm{\,of \,}\,\mathrm{\,the \,}\,\mathrm{\,Moon \,}:``
    `` v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}``
    `` =\frac{2\times 3.14\times 3.85\times {10}^{8}}{2.36\times {10}^{6}}=1025.42\,\mathrm{\,m \,}/\,\mathrm{\,s \,}``
    `` \,\mathrm{\,Acceleration \,}\,\mathrm{\,of \,}\,\mathrm{\,the \,}\,\mathrm{\,Moon \,}:``
    `` a=\frac{{v}^{2}}{r}=\frac{(1025.42{)}^{2}}{2.36\times {10}^{6}}=0.00273\,\mathrm{\,m \,}/{\,\mathrm{\,s \,}}^{2}``
    `` \Rightarrow a=2.73\times {10}^{-3}\,\mathrm{\,m \,}/{\,\mathrm{\,s \,}}^{2}``
