    - - If you weigh 690N on the Earth, then your mass is about

    (690N) / (9.8 m/s²) = 70 kg.

    - - If your mass is 70 kg then your weight on that neutron star would be

    G M₁ M₂ / R²

    = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²) (70 kg) (1.989 x 10³⁰ kg) / (19,000 m) ²

    = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 70 x 1.989 x 10³⁰) / (3.61 x 10⁸) N

    = (6.67 x 70 x 1.989 x 10¹⁹) / (3.61 x 10⁸) N

    = 2.57 x 10¹³ Newtons.

    (about 2,890,000,000 tons!)
