1 astronomical unit 1 AU = 1.4960 * 10^11 meters
it is the average distance between earth and sun
mercury to sun distance is = 46,000,000 * 1000 meters
= 4.6 * 10^9 meters = 4.6 * 10^9 / 1.4960 * 10^11 AU
= 3.0.74 / 100 = 0.0374 AU
Again I think you did not give the right constants. So I would use the correct constants for mass of moon and distance from earth to moon.
<span>The formula for force of attraction between any two bodies in the universe
F = GMm / r^2. (Newton's Universal law of Gravitation).
G = Universal gravitational constant, G = 6.67 * 10 ^ -11 Nm^2 / kg^2.
M = Mass of Earth. = 5.97 x 10^24 kg.
m = mass of moon = 7.34 x 10^22 kg.
r = distance apart, between centers = in this case it is the distance from Earth to the Moon
= 3.8 x 10^8 m.
(Sorry I could not assume with the values you gave, they are wrong, and if we use them we would be insulting Physics).
So F = ((6.67 * 10 ^ -11)*(5.97 x 10^24)*(7.34 * 10^22)) / (3.8 x 10^8)^2.
Punch it all up in your calculator.
I used a Casio 991 calculator, it should be one of the best in the world.Really lovely calculator, that has helped me a lot in computations like this. I am thankful for the Calculator.
F = 2.0240 * 10^ 20 N.
So that's our answer.
Hurray!!</span>
