Chapter 2 Problem 125P

Question

In 1999, scientists discovered a new class of black holes with masses 100 to 10,000 times the mass of our sun, but occupying less space than our moon. Suppose that one of these black holes has a mass of \(1 \times 10^{3}\) suns and a radius equal to one-half the radius of our moon. What is its density in grams per cubic centimeter? The mass of the sun is \(2.0 \times 10^{30} \mathrm{~kg}\), and the radius of the moon is \(2.16 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{mi}\).

(Volume of a sphere = \(\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}\).)

Solution

Problem 125P

In 1999, scientists discovered a new class of black holes with masses 100 to 10,000 times the mass of our sun, but occupying less space than our moon. Suppose that one of these black holes has a mass of  suns and a radius equal to one-half the radius of our moon. What is its density in grams per cubic centimetre? The mass of the sun is  kg, and the radius of the moon is  mi.

Step 1 of 2

The property of the substance which does not depend upon the quantity is termed as intensive property. Density is also an example of intensive property which is defined as the ratio of mass and volume of substance.
