Given: Mass of earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg
Radius of earth r = 6.37 x 10⁶ m
G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²
Required: Smallest possible period T = ?
Formula: F = ma; F = GMeMsat/r² Centripetal acceleration ac = V²/r
but V = 2πr/T
equate T from all equation.
F = ma
GMeMsat/r² = Msat4π²/rT²
GMe = 4π²r³/T²
T² = 4π²r³/GMe
T² = 39.48(6.37 x 10⁶ m)³/6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)
T² = 1.02 x 10²² m³/3.99 x 10¹⁴ m³/s²
T² = 25,563,909.77 s²
T = 5,056.08 seconds or around 1.4 Hour
Energy slowly leaks outward through the radiative diffusion of photons that repeatedly bounce off ions and electrons.
<h3>What is radiative diffusion?</h3>
A radiation zone is a layer of a star's core where energy is mostly carried toward the outside by radiative diffusion and thermal conduction rather than convection.
As photons, energy passes through the radiation zone as electromagnetic radiation.
The radiative diffusion of photons that repeatedly bounce off ions and electrons progressively drains energy outward.
Hence,radiative diffusion is correct answer.

Spring tides have higher high tides and lower low tides whereas neap tides have lower high tides and higher low tides. Hence, the range is much larger in a spring tide than in a low tide.
It is fine to use the equation given by Plitter, since we are told that the mass is about the same as it is now, and I seriously doubt the original question wants the student to go into relativistic effects, electron degeneracy pressure and magnetic effects that govern a real white dwarf star.
There is no need to make it unnecessarily complicated, when the question is set at high school level. The question asks, given a particular radius, and a given mass, what will the density be (which in this case will be the average density). To answer the question, one needs to know the mass of the sun (which is about 2×1030 Kg. One needs to convert the diameter to a radius, and then calculate the spherical volume of the white dwarf. Then one can use the formula given above, namely density=mass/volume
