Answer:
R = 98304.75 m = 98.3 km
Step-by-step explanation:
The density of an object is given as the ratio between the mass of that object and the volume occupied by that object.
Density = Mass/Volume
Now, it is given that the density of Earth has become:
Density = 1 x 10⁹ kg/m³
Mass = Mass of Earth (Constant) = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg
Volume = 4/3πR³ (Volume of Sphere)
R = Radius of Earth = ?
Therefore,
1 x 10⁹ kg/m³ = (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg)/[4/3πR³]
4/3πR³ = (5.97 x 10²⁴ kg)/(1 x 10⁹ kg/m³)
R³ = (3/4)(5.97 x 10¹⁵ m³)/π
R = ∛[0.95 x 10¹⁵ m³]
R = 98304.75 m = 98.3 km
