What would be the weight of the moon if it were resting on the surface of the earth
kari74 [83]
We need to be careful here.
The calculation of the gravitational force between two objects
refers to the distance between their centers. 
The minimum possible distance between the Earth's and moon's
centers is the sum of their radii (radiuses).

Earth's radius . . . . .  6,360 km  =  6.36 x 10⁶ meters
Moon's radius . . . . .  1,738 km  =  1.738 x 10⁶ meters
Sum of their radii  =                      8.098 x 10⁶ meters

Also:
Earth's mass . . . . .  5.972 x 10²⁴ kg
Moon's mass . . . . .  7.348 x 10²²  kg
<span>
and now we're ready to go !

       Gravitational force = 

                   G  M₁ M₂ / R²

= (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²)(</span><span>5.972 x 10²⁴ kg)(7.348 x 10²²  kg)/</span>(8.098 x 10⁶ m)²

= (6.67 · 5.972 · 7.348 / 8.098²) · (10²³)      Newtons

=    (I get ...)        4.463 x 10²³ Newtons

That's almost exactly   10²³ pounds 

                           =  50,153,000,000,000,000,000 tons.     

Those are big numbers. 
All I can say is:  I wouldn't exactly call that "resting" on the surface".
