Collapse of a dust ball under Newtonian gravity. Suppose that a spherical ball of dust with no internal pressure and with an initial radius R0 and total mass M gravitationally collapses from rest. Show that the outer shell of the collapsing dust ball obeys the equation of motion Solve this equation of motion and show that the time to collapse is given by Hint: Write Newton’s law as . Let f(R) = dF(R)/dR and multiply both sides of by by . The resulting equation may be immediately integrated with respect to time by recognizing that . Integrating again with respect to time, this general technique yields t as a function of R where and C and C1 are constants determined by the initial conditions.
