    Calculating Jean's length for neutral hydrogen cloud

    Homework Statement What is the Jean's length in parsecs for a typical neutral hydrogen cloud, which has a density of n(H I) ~10^8 atoms/(m^3) and a temperature of 100K? Homework Equations jean's length = sqrt[(15*K*T)/(4pi*G*u*p)] where: 'K' is the Boltzmann constant 'T' is the temperature of...
