Question

R S ( M ) = 2 G M c 2 , where G is the gravitational constant and c is the speed of light. It is okay if you do not follow the details of the equation; the basic point is that if you put an amount of mass M or larger in a sphere of radius smaller than RS(M)
What equation is this

Answer 1

The provided question's answer is "Schwarzschild radius".

The conversion factor between mass and energy is the speed of light squared.

GM/r stands for gravitational potential energy, also known as energy per unit mass.

GM/rc² then has "mass per unit mass" units. In other words, as mass/mass splits out in a dimensional analysis, "dimensionless per unit."

The derivation yields a formula for time or space coordinate ratios requiring sqrt(1 - 2GM/rc²). This number becomes 0 when r=2GM/c2, or the formula becomes infinite if in the denominator. However, there is no justification for using c² as a conversion factor there. Consider the initial expression sqrt(1 - 2GM/rc²).

Assume that m is used as the test particle's mass instead of 1. Then you have sqrt(m - 2GMm/rc² and mass units. This expression denotes that the rest energy of the test mass m you introduced into the gravitational field is "gone" at that radius.

The 2 would be absent if the gravitational field were Newtonian. However, at the event horizon, Einstein gravity is slightly stronger than Newton gravity, resulting in the factor 2 in qualitative terms.

So, the given equation is of Schwarzschild radius.
