Using g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m\,s}^{-2}, G=6.67×10−11 N m2 kg−2G = 6.67\times10^{-11}\,\text{N\,m}^{2}\,\text{kg}^{-2} and Earth’s radius R⊕=6.4×106 mR_{\oplus} = 6.4\times10^{6}\,\text{m}, estimate the mean density of Earth. (a) 1.4×104 kg m−31.4\times10^{4}\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3} (b) 5.5×103 kg m−35.5\times10^{3}\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3} (c) 3.7×103 kg m−33.7\times10^{3}\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3} (d) 9.8×103 kg m−39.8\times10^{3}\,\text{kg\,m}^{-3}
