Answer:

Acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon is given as

[tex]g = 1.62 m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

As we know that the acceleration due to gravity is given as

[tex]g = \frac{GM}{R^2}[/tex]

now we have

[tex]M = 7.35 \times 10^{22} kg[/tex]

[tex]R = 1.74 \times 10^6 m[/tex]

now we have

[tex]g = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(7.35 \times 10^{22}}{(1.74 \times 10^6)^2}[/tex]

[tex]g = 1.62 m/s^2[/tex]
