| If you have two spheres, one of them has a mass of 100 and a surface area of 100, and the other one has a surface area that is 70% less than the first and has the same density, how much mass will the second sphere have? I'm looking into this hypothesis (for fun ONLY) that when all the continents were together, they made up the entire surface of the earth, and their splitting and drifting apart was caused as the earth somehow expanded. Please don't feel the need to debunk that theory, I'm taking it with a grain of salt. I just want to figure out how much the earth has increased in mass if that hypothesis is true and if the density has remained constant, but I don't know how. |
