The Roche Limit Formula: Discover the Solution to This Celestial Phenomenon

[SOLVED] The Roche Limit

What's hte formula for the Roche Limit? I can't find it any where!

 

[Janus]

R_L = 2.423R_p(d_p/d_m)^1/3

where

R_L is the Roche Limit
R_p is the radius of the planet
d_p is the density of the planet
d_m is the density of the moon.

if the moon and planet are of equal density, it reduces to

R_L = 2.423R_p
