the earth has a radius of about 6.35106 m and a mass of 5.981024 kg. what would be the radius if the earth had the same mass density as matter in a nucleus? the mass density of a nucleus is about 2.41014 g/cm3



Answer :

The radius of Earth to have the same mass density as matter in a nucleus is 1.80 x 10^3 m.

The density of a body is given by the following expression;

Density = Mass/Volume

Let the radius of Earth be r.

As the earth is a sphere, hence its volume will be 4/3 x π x r^3

So, the equation becomes

Density = Mass/(4/3 x π x r^3)

The mass of the earth is given as 5.98 x 10^24 kg and the density of the nucleus is given to be 2.4 x 10^14 m.

2.4 x 10^14 = 5.98 x 10^24/ (4/3 x 3.14 x r^3)

On Solving the above equation, the radius r comes out to be

r = 1.80 x 10^3 m.

Hence, The radius of Earth to have the same mass density as matter in a nucleus is 1.80 x 10^3 m.
