Puzzling problem (using virial theorem)
Consider a star of Radius R and mass M, with a pressure gradient given by \frac{dP}{dr} = \frac{4\pi}{3}G\rho2r exp(-\frac{rr}{\lambda\lambda}) where \rho is the central density. calculate the gravitational energy, using the Virial theorem. Show that in the limit \lambda « R this energy is...- Findg
