If you weigh 660 n on the earth, what would be your weight on the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 19.0 km? take the mass of the sun to be ms = 1.991030 kg, the gravitational constant to be g = 6.6710?11 n? m2/kg2, and the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface to be g = 9.810 m/s2. express your weight wstar in newtons.

Gravity:

F = mMG/r²

m = 660/9.81

M = 1.99 * 10³⁰

G = 6.67 * 10⁻11

r = 1.9 * 10⁴

Solve for F, wich represents the weight.
