A star 2-5 times the mass of the sun and collapsed to a size of the 12 km rotates with a speed of 1-5 rev. per second. (Extremely compact stars of this kind are known as neutron stars. Certain observed steller objects called pulsars are believed to belong this category). Will an object placed on its equator remain struck to its surface due to gravity ? (Mass of the sun 2 x 10t kg).
