Question

What is the weight of a mass of 0.001kg on the surface of a neutron star when the gravitational field strength is 2.3*10^11 N kg?

Answer 1

@DarrelFletcher, Please make sure that you are careful while posting the right question.

gravitational field strength--> g = F /m =N kg^(-1)

Your question says 2.3*10^11 N kg . The units are wrong :(

Answer:

g = 2.3 * 10^11 N Kg^(-1)

F= mg

Hope you can solve it from here

Answer 2

The answer is 230000000 Newtons how do i scale that down to the appropriate answer?

Answer 3

2.3*10^8 N

Answer 4

ok thanks
