"the moon takes 27.3 days (2.36x10^6s) to orbit the earth . Calculate its distance from the earth . Take the mass of the earth to be 5.975x10^24kg."
To solve this question, we will use the idea of uniform circular motion - i.e. the moon circles around the earth because the gravitational force provides the centripetal force.
