(a) Explanation The radius of the neutron star can be calculated using the law of conservation of angular momentum . Given info: Mass of the star, M = 2.0 × 10 30 kg The radius of the star, R = 7.0 × 10 8 m Calculations: Let L = angular momentum I = Moment of inertia of a uniform solid sphere along its diameter is given by 2 M r 2 5 I = 2 ( 2.0 × 10 30 kg ) ( 7.0 × 10 8 m ) 2 5 = 39.2 × 10 46 kg ⋅ m 2 The initial angular velocity ( ω 1 ) = = 2 π 30 days = 2 π ( 30 × 24 × 3600 ) ω 1 = 2.42 × 10 − 6 rad/s Final angular velocity ( ω 2 ) = 2 π 0.10 s = 20 π rad/s The angular momentum is given by L = I ω = constant Therefore, L 1 = I 1 ω 1 L 1 = ( 39.2 × 10 46 kg ⋅ m 2 ) ( 2.42 × 10 − 6 rad/s ) Since angular momentum is conserved, L = I ω = constant Therefore, L 1 = L 2 I 1 ω 1 = I 2 ω 2 Substituting the value of the initial and final value of the moment of inertia and angular velocity in the above equation ( 39.2 × 10 46 kg ⋅ m 2 ) ( 2 (b) To determine Speed of a point on the equator of the neutron star
