Chapter 8: Problem 66
The Crab Nebula One of the most studied objects in the night sky is the Crab Nebula. It is the remains of a supernova explosion observed by the Chinese in 1054. In 1968 it was discovered that a pulsar-a rapidly rotating neutron star that emits a pulse of radio waves with each revolution-lies near the center of the Crab Nebula. The amount of time required for each rotation of this pulsar is \(33 \mathrm{~ms}\). What is the angular speed (in \(\mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}\) ) of the pulsar?
