Detailed Solution

The density of material in the Earth varies, but let’s adopt a simplified model in which we assume the density to be uniform throughout the Earth. The resulting density is the average density of the Earth. Assume the Earth is a perfect shpere.
We know that g=GMERE2

The mass of the earth as ME=gRE2G

substitute this mass and the volume of a sphere into the definition of density

ρE=MEVE=gRE2/G43πRE3=34gπGRE

=349.80m/s2π(6.674×1011N2m2/kg2)(6.37×106m)

ρE=5.50×103kg/m3
