Radius,
Mass of the sphere,
Formula Used:
Mass = Density
Calculation:
The density of the sphere is
Here C is the constant and r is the distance.
The density of the sphere is varied by a distance so the differential element of the sphere is ,
Integrate within the limits 0 to R .
Therefore the constant C is,
Substitute
Conclusion:
The constant C is
