Question: B . How massive a black hole do you want to fall into? Suppose M = 1 0 kilometers = 1 0 0 0 0

B. How massive a black hole do you want to fall into? Suppose M=10 kilometers =10000 meters, or about seven times the mass of our Sun. Assume your head and feet are 2 meters apart. Find rouch, in meters, at which you become uncomfortable according to our criterion. Compare this radius with that of Earth's radius, namely 6.4106 meters.
C. Will your discomfort increase or decrease or stay the same as you continue to fall toward the center from this radius?
D. Suppose you fall from rest at infinity. How fast are you going when you reach rouch according to Newton? Express this speed as a fraction of the speed of light.
E. Take the speed in part D to be constant from that radius to the center and find the corresponding (maximum) time in meters to travel from rouch to the center, according to Newton. This will be the maximum Newtonian time lapse during which you will be er-uncomfortable.
F. What is the maximum time of discomfort, according to Newton, expressed in seconds?
B . How massive a black hole do you want to fall
