Use conservation of angular momentum to estimate the angular velocity of a neutron star which has collapsed

Question:

Use conservation of angular momentum to estimate the angular velocity of a neutron star which has collapsed to a diameter of 20km, from a star whose radius was equal to that of our Sun (7 x 108m), of mass 1.5 times that of the Sun, and which rotated (like our Sun) about once a month.

Angular movements are produced when the angle between the bones of joint changes. There are several different types of angular movements, including flexion, extension, hyperextension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction. Flexion, or bending, occurs when the angle between the bones decreases. Moving the forearm upward at the elbow or moving the wrist to move the hand toward the forearm are examples of flexion. The extension is the opposite of flexion in that the angle between the bones of a joint increase.
