Step 1
To do this, we can use the formula for volume: Volume = Mass / Density Since we want to find the mass, we rearrange the formula: Mass = Volume * Density Given that the density of neutron star material is 3x10^10 kg/m^3 and your actual density is about 1000 Show more…

Neutron stars consist only of neutrons and have unbelievably high densities. A typical mass and radius for a neutron star might be 7.0 x 1028 kg and 1.6 x 103 m. (a) Find the density of such a star. (b) If a dime (V = 2.0 x 10-7 m3) were made from this material, how much would it weight (in pounds)?
