Consider a white dwarf and a nutron star beach of one solar mass. The radius of the white dwarf is same as that of the eartyh (=6400km) and the radius of the neutron star is 10 km. Determine the densities of the two types of the stars. Take mass of the sun `=2.0xx10^(30)`kg.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`1.822xx10^(9)kgm^(-3),4.77xx10^(17)kgm^(-3)`
