A

$20 \times {10^8}m/{\sec ^2}$

B

$8 \times {10^5}m/{\sec ^2}$

Certain neutron stars are believed to be rotating at about $1\,rev/\sec $. If such a star has a radius of $ 20\, km$, the acceleration of an object on the equator of the star will be

$a = {\omega ^2}r = 4{\pi ^2}{n^2}r = 4{\pi ^2} \times {1^2} \times 20 \times {10^3}$

$ a=8 \times {10^5}\;m/{\sec ^2}$
