For those of you who want to calculate sizes of black holes, here's the equation for the Schwarzschild radius: R = 2GM/c^2 where G is the gravitaional constant, M is the mass of the black hole, and c is the speed of light 1 solar mass is 2E30 kg c is 3E8 m/sec Can anyone provide a value G from a physics textbook or some other such reference? |
