A neutron star has a mass of 2(10^30) kg and a diameter of 10(10^3)m. Determine the gravitational force of attraction on a 10kg space probe. When it is 10^6m from the center of the star.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Given:

The mass of the neutron star is M=2×10³⁰

The diameter of the neutron star is D=10(10³) m=10⁴ m

The mass of the space probe is m=10 kg.

The distance of the space probe from the center of the neutron star is R=10⁶
