Neutron stars, such as the one at the center of the Crab Nebula,
have about the same mass as our sun but
a much smaller diameter.
If you weigh 690 NN on the earth, what would be your
weight on the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as
our sun and a diameter of 25.0 kmkm ?
Take the mass of the sun to be msmsm_s =
1.99×1030 kgkg , the gravitational constant to
be GGG =
6.67×10−11 N⋅m2/kg2N⋅m2/kg2 , and the
free-fall acceleration at the earth's surface to be ggg =
9.8 m/s2m/s2 .
Express your weight wstar star in newtons.
