Homework Statement
If the attractive forces between an electron and proton only due to gravity is
F=(Gx Me x Mp)/r^2.
What is the lowest gravitational Bohr radius?
c=2.99799 x 10^8 m/s
Me= 9.10939 x 10^-31
Mp=1.67262 x 10^-27
h= 1.05457 x 10^-34
G= 6.67259 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2
R= 1.097373 x 10^7m^-1
Answer in units of lt yr.
Homework Equations
F= G Mp Me / r^2
The Attempt at a Solution
This was not covered in detail in class, just the basics. My idea was to set F equal to 13.6 eV, convert to Joules, and solve the equation for r, which gave me an answer of 2.2831 x 10^-41 lightyears. A nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!
