Halliday, Resnick & Walker β Rotation: Problem Problem_88
Fastest spinning star. The star VFTS102 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (a satellite galaxy to our Milky Way Galaxy) is spinning so fast that it exceeds traditional expectations. The star has 25 times the mass of the Sun and if we consider it to be a solid rotating sphere, the surface at the equator is moving at a speed of \(2.0 \times 10^6 \text{ km/h}\). To find its radius, assume that it has the same density as the Sun. What are (a) the starβs radius, (b) its rotational period, and (c) the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of a section on the equatorial surface?
