Answers:

A) 2040 kg/m³; B) 58 600 km

Explanation:

A) Density

$V = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi r^{3} = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi\times (\text{1150 km})^{3} = 6.37 \times 10^{9} \text{ km}^{3}$

$\text{Density} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}} = \frac{1.3\times 10^{22} \text{ kg} }{6.37 \times 10^{9} \text{ km}^{3}}\times (\frac{\text{1 km}}{\text{1000 m}})^{3} = \text{2040 kg/m}^{3}$

<em>B) Radius</em>

$\text{Volume} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{density}} = \frac{5.68\times 10^{26} \text{ kg} }{687 \text{ kg/m}^{3} }= 8.268 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}$

$V = \frac{ 4}{3 }\pi r^{3}$

$r^{3} = \frac{3V }{4 \pi }\$

$r= \sqrt [3]{ \frac{3V }{4 \pi } }$

$r= \sqrt [3]{ \frac{3\times 8.268 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}}{4 \pi } }= \sqrt [3]{ 1.974 \times 10^{23} \text{ m}^{3}}= 5.82 \times 10^{7} \text{ m}=\text{58 200 km}$
