TRICKY! It is thought that many stars eventually collapse to rapidly rotating neutron stars with a density of 1.00 x 1017 kg/m3. Calculate the value of the surface gravity (acceleration due to gravity) on a neutron star. DENSITY = Mass/Volume     Mass of the star = 1.98 x 1030 kg    volume of a sphere = 4/3 π r3 G = 6.67384 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2   REPORT YOUR ANSWER NUMERCALLY and its units will be x 1011 m/s2
