To determine

The value of Λ using the combined observation values in table 25-2. The dark energy density parameter, ΩΛ, is related to the value of the cosmological constant, Λ, by the formula, ΩA=Λc23(H0)2. Here, c=3×108 m/s is the speed of light.

Suppose that the universe were full of spherical objects, each of mass m and radius r . If the objects were distributed uniformly throughout the universe, what number density (#/m3) of spherical objects would be required to make the density equal to the critical density of our Universe? Values:  m = 10 kg r = 0.0399 m Answer must be in scientific notation and include zero decimal places (1 sig fig --- e.g., 1234 should be written as 1*10^3)
