Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

Question

The moon goes around the earth once every 27.3 days. If the centripetal acceleration it feels is 2.70x10^-3 m/s^2. What is the distance between the center of the moon and the center of the earth?
