The density within of sphere so that gravity is constant

[richard7893]

Homework Statement

If the gravitational field vector g inside a sphere is independent of the
distance from the center of the sphere r, how does the density ρ(r) of the
sphere vary as a function of r?

Homework Equations

gauss' law for gravity: integrate g*da=4*pi*G integrate ρ(r) dv

The Attempt at a Solution

So far i have g=contant= (a/r^2) integrate 0 to r r^2 dr I am not sure what to do next.

If the field vector g inside is constant with respect to radii, then you can pull it outside the integral for Gauss's law as long as your gaussian surface is a sphere. So you get g\oint_{dS}dA = -4\pi GM The integral is just the surface area of the sphere you have, so g(4\pi r^2)=-4\pi GM Can you figure it out from there?
