If you weigh 690 N 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 22.0 km ? Take the mass of the sun to be ms = 1.99×1030 kg , the gravitational constant to be G = 6.67×10−11 N⋅m2/kg2 , and the free-fall acceleration at the earth's surface to be g = 9.8 m/s2 .
Express your weight wstar in newtons.
Find the mass of person on earth using acceleration due to
gravity on earth. Find the acceleration due to gravity on
starvusing the mass and radius given and hence find the weight of
person on surface of the star as shown below
