Halliday, Resnick & Walker β€” Gravitation: Problem Problem_72

A typical neutron star may have a mass equal to that of the Sun but a radius of only 10 km. (a) What is the gravitational acceleration at the surface of such a star? (b) How fast would an object be moving if it fell from rest through a distance of 1.0 m on such a star? (Assume the star does not rotate.)
