In class I derived the ordinary nuclear density to be about 0.138 u/fm3. A neutron star is a collapsed star that contains neutrons in a highly compactified state, so its average density is higher. Assume a neutron star is spherical and has an average density which is about twice the ordinary nuclear density. If it is 50% heavier than the Sun, what would be its radius?
