The maximum mass at which a star near the end of its life cycle can become a white dwarf and above which the star will collapse to form a neutron star or black hole : a stellar mass equal to about 1.4 solar masses.

For stellar masses less than about 1.44 solar masses, the energy from the gravitational collapse is not sufficient to produce the neutrons of a neutron star, so the collapse is halted by electron degeneracy to form white dwarfs. This maximum mass for a white dwarf is called the Chandrasekhar limit.

A triangular park has sides 120 m, 80 m and 50 m. A gardener has to put a fence all around it and also plant grass inside. How much area does he need to plant? Find the cost of fencing it with barbed wire at the rate of Rs. 20 per metre, leaving a space of 3 m wide for a gate on one side.
using Henon's(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)=?125×5×45×75=(25×15)?15=375?15sq.m Cost of fence without gate=(250-3)×20=247×20=RS.4940
