Consider a star whose density increases toward its center. If we model this star as a series of concentric shells (each shell having its own uniform density), then the equation of mass continuity relates the mass in each shell to the density and volume of the shell. The star has the following two regimes:
Core: ⍴r = ⍴0 from r = 0 to r = r0
Envelope: ⍴r = ⍴0(r/r0)-2 from r = r0 to r = R
Integrate the equation of mass continuity (see provided image) over the appropriate ranges to find expressions for the masses in the core and in the envelope. Add the two expressions to find an alegbraic expression for the total M inside R.
Under some circumstances, a star can collapse into an extremely dense object made
mostly of neutrons and called a neutron star. The density of a neutron star is roughly 10¹4
times as great as that of ordinary solid matter. Suppose we represent the star as a uniform,
solid, rigid sphere, both before and after the collapse. The star's initial radius was 7.0×105
km (comparable to our sun); its final radius is 18 km.
If a neutron star has a radius of 10 km and rotates 716 times a second, what is the speed of the
surface at the neutron star's equator as a fraction of the speed of light?
