    At what distance is the gravitational pull balanced

    So it's d+1.22*10^6 instead of d?

    At what distance is the gravitational pull balanced

    Oh wait, is it d+radius of the moon?

    At what distance is the gravitational pull balanced

    G*M/r^2= G*m/(d)^2 where M is the mass of the moon, r is the radius of the moon, m is the mass of Saturn and d is the distance between them? So, G's cancel (1.35*10^23)/(2575000)^2= (5.68*10^26)/(d)^2 d^2= (5.68*10^26)*(2575000)^2 /(1.35*10^23) d= sqrt(2.78977*10^16) d=167026167.8

    At what distance is the gravitational pull balanced

    G*(1.35*10^23)/(2575000)^2=G*(mass of saturn)/(d)^2 ?? I'm not sure what to do with the distance from saturn to the moon or if it is multiplied by the mass of saturn. I'm really confused

    At what distance is the gravitational pull balanced

    Homework Statement On December 25, 2004, the Huygens probe separated from the Cassini spacecraft orbiting Saturn and began a 22 day journey to Saturn's giant moon Titan (see the figure below (Figure 1) ), on whose surface it landed. It is useful to know that Titan is 1.22×106 km from the...
