Calculate the mass and density of the earth. Given that Gravitational constant `G = 6.67 xx 10^(-11) Nm^(2)// kg^(2)`, the radius of the earth `= 6.37 xx 10^(6) m` and g `= 9.8 m//s^(2)`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the mass and density of the Earth, we can use the formula for gravitational acceleration and the relationship between mass, radius, and density. ### Step 1: Use the formula for gravitational acceleration The gravitational acceleration \( g \) at the surface of the Earth can be expressed using the formula: \[ g = \frac{G \cdot M}{R^2} \] ...
