Neutron stars such as the one at the center of crab nebula

Reference no: EM13544695

Neutron stars, such as the one at the center of the Crab Nebula, have about the same mass as our sun, but a much smaller diameter. If you weigh 670 N on the earth, what would you weigh on the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 20.0 km?
