A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star, the result of the gravitational collapse of an ordinary star that has used up its fuel supply. A certain pulsar has a rotational period of `T=0.033 sec` and radius `R=1//38 km`. The tangential speed of a point on the equator is `"___________" (km//s)`

Text Solution
