How did we get to the constant in r\frac{\partial p}{\partial r}=c_1?

Hi,

When we have \frac{\partial}{\partial r}(r\frac{\partial p}{\partial r})=0

and we get

r\frac{\partial p}{\partial r}=c_1

To get there, did we do this

\int\frac{\partial}{\partial r}(r\frac{\partial p}{\partial r}) dr=\int 0 dr

or

\partial (r\frac{\partial p}{\partial r})=0\partial r
\int \partial (r\frac{\partial p}{\partial r})=\int 0\partial r

and why?

Thanks in advance

Well, yes, but you could also think of it this way: This
<br /> \frac{\partial}{\partial r} \left(r \frac{\partial p}{\partial r} \right) = 0<br />

tells you that the derivative wrt r of the expression inside parentheses is zero, so that expression must be a constant.
