Ans:- 5.61 Hours
 
Soln:-
 
v(avg)=sqrt(8RT/piM)
sustituting the values, we get,
v(avg)=630m/s
diamter of earth=12732km=12732000m
 
therfore, time=12732000/(630*60*60)=5.61 hours

hello chirag,i guess the average velocity value which u have found out is wrong...otherwise,rest of the soln. is correct..do check it once more.

never give up in life.keep trying till you succeed.don't forget to rate my answers if u find them to be correct as it will only boost my confidence....
