The Moon and Earth are bound together by gravity. If, instead, the force of attraction were the result of each having a charge of the same magnitude but opposite in sing, find the quantity of charge that would have to be placed on each to produce the required force.

The force due to gravity
F=GMmR2
G - universal gravitational constant
M - mass of the earth
m - mass of the moon
R - distance
force between the the charges
F=Q24σπR2
Equating and solve for Q
