Estimate the surface free-fall acceleration

Reference no: EM13496405

After the Sun exhausts its nuclear fuel, its ultimate fate may be to collapse to a white dwarf state. In this state, it would have approximately the same mass as it has now, but its radius would be equal to the radius of the Earth.

(a) Calculate the average density of the white dwarf.

_____ kg/m3

(b) Calculate the surface free-fall acceleration.

_____ m/s^2

_____ J
