Homework Statement
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 675 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 16.0 km?
Take the mass of the sun to be = 1.99×1030kg , the gravitational constant to be G= 6.67×10−11 , and the acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface to be g = 9.81
Homework Equations
mg=(Gmm_E)/(R_E)^2
I think??
The Attempt at a Solution
well I have not attempted it because the equation I have doesn't make sense when you include R_E^2 so I am unsure of the proper formulas??
