To find the pressure \( p \) inside a uniform sphere as a function of the distance \( r \) from its center, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Density of the Sphere The density \( \rho \) of the sphere can be calculated using the formula: \[ \rho = \frac{M}{\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3} \] where \( M \) is the mass of the sphere and \( R \) is its radius. ...
