Most of the black holes observed by astronomers have masses equal to a few solar masses (the result of the death of a high mass star) or have masses equal to several million solar masses (found at the core of most galaxies). Recently, a third category of black hole has been observed with a mass between these two extremes. Calculate the Schwarzschild radius (in meters) of a black hole that has a total mass equal to 25 solar masses.
