A large non rotating star of mass M and ...

A large non rotating star of mass M and radius R begins to collapse under its own gravity and ultimately becomes very small (nearly a point mass). Assume that the density remains uniform inside the sphere in any stage. Plot the variation of gravitational field intensity (well, you can call it cceleration due to gravity) at a distance `(R)/(2)`from the centre vs the radius (r) of the star.
