we know that g = {๐บ๐‘€ \over ๐‘…^2}ย  orย  M = {๐‘”๐‘…^2 \over ๐บ}

โŸน Average density of the earth,ย  ย  D = {๐‘€๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘  \overย ๐‘‰๐‘œ๐‘™๐‘ข๐‘š๐‘’} = {๐‘”๐‘…^2 \over ๐บ ร—๐‘‰๐‘’}

(Where V e is the volume of the earth)

Or,ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  ย  D = {๐‘”๐‘…^2 \overย ๐บ{4\over3}ฯ€R^3} = {3g \overย 4 ฯ€GR}
