Question

Calculate the density of a neutron star with a radius 1.71 x 104 m, assuming the mass is distributed uniformly. Treat the neutron star as a giant nucleus and consider the mass of a nucleon 1.675 x 10-27 kg. Your answer should be in the form of N x 1017 kg/m3. Enter only the number N with two decimal places, do not enter unit.

Step 1

Given radius, r = 1.71 x 10^4 m Volume, V = (4/3) x π x r^3 V = (4/3) x π x (1.71 x 10^4)^3 V = 2.145 x 10^-45 m^3 Show more…
