Chapter 11 Problem 94

Question

(a) The mass and the radius of the sun are, respectively, 1.99 3 1030 kg and 6.96 3 108 m. What is its density? (b) If a solid object is made from a material that has the same density as the sun, would it sink or fl oat in water? Why? (c) Would a solid object sink or fl oat in water if it were made from a material whose density was the same as that of the planet Saturn (mass 5 5.7 3 1026 kg, radius 5 6.0 3 107 m)? Provide a reason for your answer

Solution

Step 1 of 3)

The first step in solving 11 problem number 94 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (a) The mass and the radius of the sun are, respectively, 1.99 3 1030 kg and 6.96 3 108 m. What is its density? (b) If a solid object is made from a material that has the same density as the sun, would it sink or fl oat in water? Why? (c) Would a solid object sink or fl oat in water if it were made from a material whose density was the same as that of the planet Saturn (mass 5 5.7 3 1026 kg, radius 5 6.0 3 107 m)? Provide a reason for your answer
