- 3. Let's imagine that the earth is shrinking and we want to escape before it is too late. Let's set up some notation: R: the radius of Earth MẸ : the mass of Earth m: your mass G : the universal gravitational constant c: the speed of light Note that, since Earth is shrinking, R is not constant, but MẸ is constant (the values of ME, G and c are available on Wikipedia). In this question, we will compute the velocity needed to escape Earth and the radius of (shrunken) Earth for which even light cannot escape (when Earth becomes a black hole). In fact, all of the related formulae are well known and the purpose of this question is to justify our work using what we have learned in this course so far.

- Before we introduced the Friedmann equation, we gained some intuition with a Newtonian example of an expanding sphere of uniform density that feels its own gravity. Suppose the sphere is currently static; it has expanded to its maximum size and is about to recollapse.
