Gravitational acceleration at the equator of spherical star


Consider a pulsar, a collapsed star of extremely high density, with a mass M equal to that of the Sun (1.98 × 1030 kg), a radius R of only 17.7 km, and a rotational period T of 0.0642 s. By what percentage does the free-fall acceleration g differ from the gravitational acceleration ag at the equator of this spherical star?
