$A$ star $2.5$ times the mass of the sun and collapsed to a size of $12 \;km$ rotates with a speed of $1.2 \;rev/s$. (Extremely compact stars of this kind are known as neutron stars. Certain stellar objects called pulsars belong to this category). Will an object placed on its equator remain stuck to its surface due to gravity? (Mass of the sun $= 2 \times 10^{30} \;kg$)
