How large would a sphere of the densest known element, Osmium need to be to have 1G at its surface?
>>
Not your personal homework solver.

what is 1G?

1000$

Not homework, just curious!

mass of earth: 5.972 × 10^24 kg
density of osmium: 22.59g/cm^3
volume of osmium with equivalent earth mass: (2.64365 * 10^26)cm^3
a sphere with this volume has a radius of 3981.4km, 62.42% the radius of the Earth

this is assuming you mean 1g, as in earth gravity acceleration, not the universal gravitational constant

and this isn't surface gravity, left as an exercise to the reader

F_grav ~ γ * M * m / r2, so, not quite the right answer.

>>7683369
g = 9.81m/s^2 = G [ 22590kg/m^3 (4/3πr^3) ] / r^2 = G * 22590kg/m^3 * (4/3πr)

r = 1553 km = ~~ ( 0.24 ) × polar radius of Earth (~~ 6357 km ) = ~~ 1.3 × Pluto equatorial radius ( 1.151×10^6 m )

that is too small

r=3g/(4π*G*rho)

G=6.67428e-11 m^3/(kg*s^2)
g=9.80665 m/s^2
rho_Os=2.259e4 kg/m^3

r=1.552785307e06 m

Is the assumption of constant density justified?
Is there enough Osmium in the known universe?
>>
>>7683527

Also don't forget to take into accout the fact even a sphere made entirely of one material would become denser as you get towards the core.
>>
>>7683369
Assume uniform density,
9.8 N/kg = G* ((4/3)pi*rho*(r^3)/r^2 = G*Rho*pi*r *1.3333
And that's it.

>>7683381

Is this a joke are you guys not able to solve this problem?
>>
>>7683381
Earth's gravity. Or 9.81m^-2

I could not help but notice your png was not optimized anon.
I have optimized your png.
Your png is now optimized.
