Your spaceship lands on an unknown planet. To determine the characteristics of this planet, you drop a wrench from 4.50 m above the ground and measure that it hits the ground 0.814 s later. Part b) Assuming that the planet has the same density as that of earth (5500 kg/m3), what is the radius of the planet? Express your answer with the appropriate units

Your spaceship lands on an unknown planet. To determine the characteristics of this planet, you drop a wrench from 4.50 m above the ground and measure that it hits the ground 0.814 s later.
Part b)
Assuming that the planet has the same density as that of earth (5500 kg/m3), what is the radius of the planet?
Express your answer with the appropriate units
Note: when calculated it with someones help I got it 2.7746x10^7 but when I put it in the system it marked me wrong and I would like to know if there is another way to solve it correctly.
