1) How large is the Schwarzschild Radius for a 100 solar mass black hole? (in km)

 

      

Vesc = velocity needed to escape, in m/s

G = a constant, 6.67 x 10-11 N m2/kg2

M = mass of the object you are escaping from, in kg

R = radius of the object you are escaping from, in m

R = _____ Km

 

 

2) what formula is correct for the question above 

a) 

b)  

c) Other formula was used d)  I have my own  (if you choose d please list your formula. Also include the applycation you used to get the answer for the question above.

R=2GM/c^2 is used.

R=[2 x 6.67E-11 x 1.989E30 x 100] / {[299,792,458^2] . 1,000}

R=295.22 Km - Schwarzchild's Radius.
