SUMMARY
The differential equation presented is \(\frac{d^2 r}{ds^2} + \frac{m}{r^2} - \frac{nr}{3} = 0\) with boundary conditions \(r = a\) when \(s = 0\) and \(\frac{dr}{ds} = 0\) when \(r = b\). To solve this equation, it is recommended to multiply the entire equation by \(\frac{dr}{ds}\) and then integrate. This method effectively simplifies the problem and allows for the application of the given boundary conditions.
