Problem 6. Your spaceship is orbiting a suspicious invisible mass at a save distance of Rorb = 10% km. In order to study the object, you send a small probe, which is programmed to send signals back regularly. Diving into the object, the periods between the signals from the probe increase, the signals themselves became more and more redshifted, and eventually at a distance of 40 km from the object the probe and the signals get frozen'. (a) What do you think the nature of the object is? Why? (b) Calculate the mass of the object in both kilograms and solar masses and support or reject your answer to subproblem (a) (Hint: Recall what happens when an object crosses the Schwarzschild radius Rsch.
