- Homework Statement
- Assuming an ideal gas law with no radiation pressure, P = ρkT/µmH, find
an expression for T(r).
Given mu = 0.61 for the Sun (you can use the Sun’s mass and radius), what
is the central temperature of the Sun in this model?
- Relevant Equations
- See below
I derived the equation for P so I substituted that into this equation. I'm struggling with finding rho_c (central density) and rho.
Am I supposed to use the average density for rho (can calculate this since I know the radius of Sun and mass)? That still leaves the problem with the central density though.
