Neutron stars are extremely dense objects with a mass comparable to the mass of the sun but a radius of only several thousand meters. Consider a neutron star of mass M = 1.99e+030 kg and a radius of R = 10.8 km.
What is the gravitational acceleration near the surface of the star?
I tried using the equation gstar = G * mass / diameter^2 but that didn't work.
