Schwarzschild radius RS of a black hole is the maximum distance from the black hole’s center at which light cannot escape its gravitational field. The quantity RS (with dimensions of length) is dependent on the mass of the black hole M, the speed of light c, and the gravitational constant G. Based on the dimensions of these four parameters, predict an equation for the Schwarzschild radius. Hint: G has dimensions of [L3/MT2]
