Compute the dynamical timescale for the earth


A dynamical timescale ‘td’ for a system of radius R and mass M might be obtained by computing the time taken for a unit mass to fall freely from the surface of the system to the center. Deduce such an expression. This time-scale gives an approximation of the time taken for any small instability in the system to build up into system-wide instabilities (which would, for instance, then disrupt the whole system). Compute the dynamical timescale for (a) the Earth (b) the Sun (c) the Solar system (d) a giant interstellar gas cloud 100pc across and mass 10^6 of sun.
