The nearest neutron star (a collapsed star made primarily of neutrons) is about 3.00 × 1018 m away from Earth. Given that the Milky Way galaxy (Fig. P1.63) is roughly a disk of diameter ~ 1021 m and thickness ~ 1019 m, estimate the number of neutron stars in the Milky Way to the nearest order of magnitude.
The answer is not 491400 Pa. I keep getting 529740 Pa when I do the calculation myself, but that is not the right answer either. Please help with a detailed explanation. Thank you!
Problem 1.45. As an illustration of why it matters which variables you hold fixec
when taking partial derivatives, consider the following mathematical example. Le
w = ry and z = yz.
(a) Write w purely in terms of x and z, and then purely in terms of y and z.
(b) Compute the partial derivatives
and
and show that they are not equal. (Hint: To compute (ðu/dz)y, use i
formula for w in terms of r and y, not z. Similarly, compute (ðu/ar}:
from a formula for w in terms of only z and z.)
