Fob Again on the Moon

We know that a change in Orbs, the orbital distance surface to surface, changes GPE.

Fob=dGPEmdOrbs=gmeOrbsrm+gme(xOrbsrm)=gm

A force develops that opposes an increase in Orbs.  It acts on the system and is shared by both the Moon and Earth.  It is proposed that it is divided among the two bodies in proportion to their masses.

Fe+Fm=Fob

Fm=MmMe+MmFob,  and

Fe=MeMe+MmFob

 and acts as a centripetal force, keeping Orbs constant.

Fm = 7.34767309*10^22/(7.34767309*10^22+5.97219*10^24)*0.00162

Fm = 0.0000197 kms-2
                     
This force acts as centripetal force, therefore

v2mom=Fm 

vm = ((384400+6371)* 0.0000197)^(0.5) = 2.77 kms-1

This answer is consistent with the value obtained from considering a decrease in GPE, GPE
where v=2.90  kms-1.

Both theoretical answer are consistent.
