(choose chapter or problem)

Suppose that you could pack neutrons (mass 5 1.67 3 10227 kg) inside a tennis ball (radius 5 0.032 m) in the same way as neutrons and protons are packed together in the nucleus of an atom. (a) Approximately how many neutrons would fi t inside the tennis ball? (b) A small object is placed 2.0 m from the center of the neutron-packed tennis ball, and the tennis ball exerts a gravitational force on it. When the object is released, what is the magnitude of the acceleration that it experiences? Ignore the gravitational force exerted on the object by the earth.
