Time standards are now based on atomic clocks. a promising second standard is based on pulsars, which are rotating neutron stars (highly compact stars consisting only of neutrons). some rotate at a rate that is highly stable, sending out a radio beacon that sweeps briefly across earth once with each rotation, like a lighthouse beacon. pulsar psr 1937+21 is an example; it rotates once every 1.55780644887275 ± 3 ms, where the trailing ±3 indicates the uncertainty in the last decimal place (it does not mean ±3 ms). (a) how many times does psr 1937+21 rotate in 39.0 days? (b) how much time does the pulsar take to rotate 3.00 × 106 times and (c) what is the associated uncertainty?
