Earth gravity effect on the moon surface?

We know well the Earth gravity affects on the Moon surface.

How to we calculate the Earth gravity effect on the Moon, i.e., like the tide on the Earth, as a function of time?

I am not really sure, but I am sure people have done this. Deep moonquakes are believed to be be caused by tidal forces coursed by the gravitational interaction between the Moon and Earth. People have calculated the tides and have shown the strong correlation with deep moonquakes.

 

I suggest you search the literature on moonquakes.

as the moon is quite well tidally locked, the tidal forces should be fairly constant(there is a bit of wobble due to the moons eccentricity)
