Problem

A very large number of small particles form a spherical cloud. Initially they are at rest, have uniform mass density per unit volume, ρ0\rho_0. The cloud collapses due to gravitation. The particles do not interact with each other in any other way. Initially the radius of cloud is r0r_0. Find the speed of circumference of cloud when radius of cloud is r(r<r0)r(r < r_0): (1) V=2πGr02ρ03(r0r−1)V = \sqrt{\frac{2\pi G r_0^2 \rho_0}{3} \left( \frac{r_0}{r} - 1 \right)} (2) V=4πGr02ρ03(r0r−1)V = \sqrt{\frac{4\pi G r_0^2 \rho_0}{3} \left( \frac{r_0}{r} - 1 \right)} (3) V=2πGr02ρ03(r0r2−1)V = \sqrt{\frac{2\pi G r_0^2 \rho_0}{3} \left( \frac{r_0}{r^2} - 1 \right)} (4) V=8πGr02ρ03(r0r−1)V = \sqrt{\frac{8\pi G r_0^2 \rho_0}{3} \left( \frac{r_0}{r} - 1 \right)}
