    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 = \[5.98\times {{10}^{24}}kg\] kg) have to be compressed to be a black hole? [AIPMT 2014]

    A)  \[{{10}^{-9}}m\]

    B)  \[{{10}^{-6}}m\]

    C)  \[{{10}^{-2}}m\]

    D)  100 m

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Problem Solving Strategy For the black hole, the escape speed is more than c (speed of light). We should compare the escape speed with the (Note that the escape speed should be at least just greater than c.) \[{{v}_{e}}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R'}}[R'\to \] New radius of the earth] \[c=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R'}}[{{v}_{e}}\approx c]\] \[\Rightarrow \]    \[{{c}^{2}}=2\frac{GM}{R'}\] \[R'=\frac{2GM}{{{c}^{2}}}=\frac{2\times 6.67\times {{10}^{-11}}\times 6\times {{10}^{24}}}{9\times {{10}^{16}}}\] \[=\frac{4\times 6.67}{3}\times {{10}^{-3}}\] \[=8.89\times {{10}^{-3}}\] \[=0.889\times {{10}^{-2}}\] \[\simeq {{10}^{-2}}m\]
