Isaac newtons theory of universal gravitation states that the equation F=G m^1m^2/r^2 can be used to calculate the amount of gravitational forces in newtons between 2 point masses (m^1) and (m^2) separated by a distance (r). G is a constant equal to 6.67*10^-11 m^2 kg^-2. The mass of the earth m^1 is equal to 5.97*10^24 kg, the mass of the moon m^2 is equal to 7.36*10^22 kg, and the distance r between the two is 384,000,000 m.
