Question 1132685: In 1999, scientists discovered a new class of black holes with masses 100 to 10,000 times the mass of our sun, but occupying less space than our moon. Suppose that one of these black holes has a mass of 1×10^3 suns and a radius equal to one-half the radius of our moon.
What is the density of the black hole in g/cm^3? The radius of our sun is 7.0×10^5km and it has an average density of 1.4×10^3kg/m^3. The diameter of the moon is 2.16×10^3 miles.

The volume of our sun is:
km3
---------------------------------------
1 m3 = km3
[ kg/m3 ] x [ m3 / km3 ] = kg/km3
The sun's density is:
kg/km3
kg/km3
---------------------------------------
The sun's mass is:
kg
----------------------------------------
suns have a mass:
kg
-----------------------------------
To finish, find volume of the moon in km3
Using
and divide mass in km to get density in
kg/km3, then use the conversion:
[ kg/km3 ] x [ 1000 g / kg ] x [ 1 km3 / 10^9 m3 ] x [ 1 m3 / 10^6 cm3 ]
