Answer to Problem 60Q

Solution:

RSch=8.89×103 m; ρ=2.03×1030 kg/m3.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

A black hole having mass equal to that of Earth.

Formula used:

The expression for Schwarzschild radius of an object is given as,

RSch=2GMc2

Here, RSch is the Schwarzschild radius, G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the object and c is the speed of light.

The expression for density of an object is given as,

ρ=MV

Here, ρ is the density, M is the mass and V is the volume.

Explanation:

The mass of black hole is equal to that of earth, which is equal to 5.976×1024 kg.

Schwarzschild radius of the black hole is calculated as follows:

Recall the expression for Schwarzschild radius of an object.

RSch=2GMc2

Upon substituting 6.67×1011 Nm2/kg2 for G, 5.976×1024 kg for M and 3×108 m/s2 for c,

RSch=2(6.67×1011 Nm2/kg2)(5.976×1024 kg)(3×108 m/s2)2=8.89×103 m

Density of the black hole is calculated by considering it to be a sphere.

Recall the expression for density of an object.

ρ=MV

Upon substituting 43πR3 for V and 5.976×1024 kg for M,

ρ=(5.976×1024 kg)(43πR3)

Substitute 8.89×103 m for R,

ρ=5.976×1024 kg43π(8.89×103 m)3=2.03×1030 kg/m3

Conclusion:

Hence, Schwarzschild radius of the black hole is 8.89×103 m and its density is 2.03×1030 kg/m3.

Density of the black hole is calculated by considering it to be a sphere.

Recall the expression for density of an object.

ρ=MV

Upon substituting 43πR3 for V and 1.989×1030 kg for M,

ρ=(1.989×1030 kg)(43πR3)

Substitute 2.94×103 m for R,

The mass of black hole is equal to that of a supermassive black hole in NGC4261, which is equal to 2.39×1039 kg.

Calculate Schwarzschild radius of a black hole.

Recall the expression of Schwarzschild radius of an object.

RSch=2GMc2

Upon substituting 6.67×1011 Nm2/kg2 for G, 2.39×1039 kg for M and 3×108 m/s2 for c,

RSch=2(6.67×1011 Nm2/kg2)(2.39×1039 kg)(3×108 m/s2)2=3.54×1012 m

Density of the black hole is calculated by considering to be a sphere.

Snoop Dogg, in an effort to get laid back (with his mind on his money and his money on his mind) pours himself a gin and juice.  He mixes 0.124 kg (about 3 shots) of gin with 0.576 kg (about a pint) of orange juice. The gin starts at 20.0˚C, room temperature. The juice is refrigerated and starts at 2.89 ˚C. What is the final temperature after mixing of the gin and juice? The specific heat of gin is 3460 J/kg˚C and the specific heat of orange juice is 3730 J/kg˚C.
