#3 dM/dr=4 pi r^2 rho R dM/dr=dM/dx=4 pi R^3 x^2 rho=4 pi R^3 rho_c x^2(1-x) M= 4 pi R^3 rho_c (x^3/3-x^4/4) = 4 pi/3 R^3 rho_c x^3(1-3 x/4) M(@x=1)= pi/3 R^3 rho_c avg rho = M(@x=1)/(4 pi/3 R^3)= (1/4) rho_c #4 Eq 8.2-12 implies that if we have two stars with the same mass & q: T_1 R_1/mu_1 = T_2 R_2/mu_2 we'll let 1=Sun, so T_2=4 T_1 Mu for H: mass of 1 for 2 particles, mass/particle = mu_1 = 1/2 Mu for He: mass of 4 for 3 particles, mass/particle = mu_2 = 4/3 R_2 = (mu_2/mu_1) (T_1/T_2) R_1 = (4/3)/(1/2) (1/4) R_1 = (2/3) R_1 #5 p.184 says 4H->He mass loss = .0479e-27 kg assume: at start 100% of Sun is H, and we convert 10% of it to He * ? 0.1*.0479e-27*c^2*(Msun/(4*mp)) .1279500255372699E+45 1.3E44 J; 1 J = 1e7 erg compare flesh (1 W/kg) to Sun: * ? Lsun/Msun .1925088509816543E-03 2e-4 so per kg, flesh releases much more heat than the Sun
