A star 2.5 times the mass of the of the sun and collapsed to a size of 12 km rotates with a speed of 1.2 rev. per second. (Extremely compact stars of this kind are known as neutron stars. Certain stellar objects called pulsars belong to this category). Will an object placed on its equator remain stuck to its surface due to gravity ? (mass of the sun`2xx10^(30)kg`).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
the object will remain stuck (and not fly off due to centrifuged force)
