MCQ
A black hole is an object whose gravitational field is so strong that even light cannot escape from it. To what approximate radius would earth $($ mass $= 5 .98 \times \,10^{24}\, kg)$ have to be compressed to be a black hole?
  • A
    $10^{-9} \,\,m$
  • B
    $10^{-6}\,\,m$
  • $10^{-2} \,\,m$
  • D
    $100 \,\,m$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$10^{-2} \,\,m$
c
       Light cannot escape from a black hole, 

${v_{esc}} = c$

$\sqrt {\frac{{2GM}}{R}}  = c\,\,\,\,\,or\,\,\,\,\,\,\,R = \frac{{2GM}}{{{c^2}}}$

$R = \frac{{2 \times 6.67 \times {{10}^{ - 11}}N{m^2}k{g^{ - 2}} \times 5.98 \times {{10}^{24}}kg}}{{{{\left( {3 \times {{10}^8}\,m\,{s^{ - 1}}} \right)}^2}}}$

$ = 8.86 \times {10^{ - 3}}m \approx {10^{ - 2}}\,m$
