Question:

If the rate of emission of energy from a star is 2.7 × 1036 J/sec, the rate of loss of mass in the star will be -

Options:

3 × 1018 kg/sec

3 × 1019 kg/sec

3 × 1020 kg/sec

3 × 1021 kg/sec

Correct Answer:

3 × 1019 kg/sec

Explanation:

$E=mc^2$

$∴m=\frac{E}{c^2}=\frac{2.7×10^{36}}{9×10^{16}}=\frac{27×10^{35}}{9×10^{16}}=3×10^{19}kg/sec$
