Dear Siva,
acceleration due to gravity = Gm/r2,.
where m is the mass of the earth , r is the distance between earth and moon and G is constant . you can use radius of earth to find mass of earth otherwise you cant find acceleration due to gravity on moon.
Hope this will help you..
Thanks and Regards

there is no rigid formula, but you can use radius of earth to find mass of earth ,.
put, Gm/r2=9.8   and put the value of G and r then you will get the mass of earth … and after you get the mass of earth you can find acceleration due to gravity on moon .
Thanks and Regards
