Consider a pulsar, a collapsed star of extremely high density, with a mass M equal to that
Question:
Consider a pulsar, a collapsed star of extremely high density, with a mass M equal to that of the Sun (1.98 x l030 kg), a radius R of only 12 km, and a rotational period T of 0.041s. By what percentage does the free-fall acceleration g differ from the gravitational acceleration ar at the equator of this spherical star?
