Assume that all the mass of a galaxy is in a massive uniform density ball of stars (called bulge by astronomers), with a radius of 1 kpc. The total mass of this bulge is 3 × 1010 M⊙ The volume of a sphere with radius R is: 4/3πR3. The observed rotation curve of the galaxy is flat from 1 to 8 kpc from the center. Astronomers claim that this must be due to the presence of dark matter. How much total mass is there within 8 kpc and what fraction of that mass is in dark matter?
Solutions
Expert Solution
Here, I have used the concept of bulge and dark matter, and then
using the necessary formulae regarding that, I have evaluated the
answers.

Dark matter; C&O 24.22.
(a) Assume that the density of dark matter in our Galaxy is
given by ρ(r) = ρ0/(1+(r/a) ^2) . Show that the amount of dark
matter interior to a radius r is given by: Mr = 4πρ0a^2 [ r − a
tan^−1 ( r/a )].
(b) If 5.4 × 10^11 M⊙ of dark matter is located within 50 kpc of
the Galactic centre, determine ρ0 in units of M⊙ kpc−1 . Repeat
your calculation if 1.9...

A small solid sphere of mass M0, of radius
R0, and of uniform density ρ0 is placed in a
large bowl containing water. It floats and the level of the water
in the dish is L. Given the information below, determine the
possible effects on the water level L, (R-Rises, F-Falls,
U-Unchanged), when that sphere is replaced by a new solid sphere of
uniform density.

Consider a wire of uniform density and mass M shaped into a
quarter circle of radius R.The wire is located in the xy plane,
with the origin at the focus of the quarter circle (i.e at the
center of the circle of which the wire is part). Choose the x axis
parallel to the line that connects the endpoints of the wire, so
that the y-z plane is a plane of reflection symmetry for the wire.
This means that the...
