Homework Statement
If an exchange particle held the moon together, what would the mass of the exchange particle be?
Moon radius = 1737 km
Homework Equations
Well, I know that the range of an exchange particle is as follows: R=\frac{\hbar}{2mc} where m is the mass of the exchange particle and c is speed of light, hbar is 1.054e-34.
The Attempt at a Solution
I do not fully understand what a range is...how can I apply a range to this problem? If I could figure that out, i think I would be able to figure the problem out
