Question 38
A ship sailed from a harbor which is located at the equator to a station located in the North Pole. The total distance traveled was 10,000 km. If it remained at the same longitude during its cruise and assuming the Earth is a perfect sphere,
a) Predict the radius of the Earth (point 2)
b. If the average density of the Earth is 5400 kg/m³, calculate the mass of the Earth (use the symbol of Earth’s radius to make calculation easier) (point 3)
