As planets with a wide variety of properties are being discovered outside our solar system, astrobiologists are considering whether and how life could evolve on planets that might be very different from earth. One recently discovered extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, orbits a star whose mass is 0.70 times the mass of our sun. This planet has been found to have 2.3 times the earth's diameter and 7.9 times the earth's mass. For planets in this size range, computer models indicate a relationship between the planet's density and composition:
Density Compared with That of the Earth Composition
2β3 times Mostly iron
0.9β2 times Iron core with a rock mantle
0.4β0.9 times Iron core with a rock mantle and some lighter elements, such as (water) ice
< 0.4 times Hydrogen and/or helium gas
Required:

The sunβs mass is 2.0Γ10^ 30 kg, its radius is 7.0Γ10 5 km, and it has a rotational period of approximately 28 days. if the sun should collapse into a white dwarf of radius 3.5Γ10 3 km, what would its period be if no mass were ejected and a sphere of uniform density can model the sun both before and after?
