===Alternate Derivation of Gravitational Potential Energy=== <!-- BEGINNING OF DELETION: The following subsubsection is redundant, now that the "Two Points of View" table has been included. ====Central Pressure==== As is pointed out, above, in our [[SSC/Virial/Polytropes#Mass-Radius_Relationship|discussion of the mass-radius relationship]], the expression for the equilibrium radius that has been derived from our analysis of extrema in the free energy function can be written as, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~4\pi \biggl( \frac{G}{K}\biggr)^n M^{(n-1)} R_\mathrm{eq}^{(3-n)}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~\frac{3}{\mathfrak{f}_M} \biggl( \frac{5\mathfrak{f}_A \mathfrak{f}_M}{\mathfrak{f}_W} \biggr)^n \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Via the polytropic equation of state, we can relate <math>~K</math> to the central pressure as follows: <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~P_c</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~K \rho_c^{1+1/n} = K \bar\rho^{1+1/n} \biggl( \frac{\rho_c}{\bar\rho} \biggr)^{1+1/n} = K \biggl[ \frac{3M_\mathrm{tot}}{4\pi R_\mathrm{eq}^3} \biggr]^{(n+1)/n} \biggl( \frac{1}{\mathfrak{f}_M} \biggr)^{(n+1)/n} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>\Rightarrow ~~~~ K^{n}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> P_c^{n} \biggl[ \frac{4\pi R_\mathrm{eq}^3}{3M_\mathrm{tot}} \biggr]^{(n+1)} \mathfrak{f}_M^{(n+1)} \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Hence, in the mass-radius relationship we can replace <math>~K</math> with this expression to obtain, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~4\pi \biggl( \frac{G}{P_c}\biggr)^n M^{(n-1)} R_\mathrm{eq}^{(3-n)} \biggl[ \frac{3M_\mathrm{tot}}{4\pi R_\mathrm{eq}^3} \biggr]^{(n+1)}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~3 \biggl( \frac{5\mathfrak{f}_A \mathfrak{f}_M^2}{\mathfrak{f}_W} \biggr)^n </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>\Rightarrow ~~~~ \biggl( \frac{G M_\mathrm{tot}^2}{P_c R_\mathrm{eq}^4}\biggr)^n \biggl( \frac{3}{4\pi } \biggr)^{n}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> ~\biggl( \frac{5\mathfrak{f}_A \mathfrak{f}_M^2}{\mathfrak{f}_W} \biggr)^n </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right" colspan="3"> <math> \Rightarrow ~~~~ P_c = \frac{3 }{20\pi }\biggl( \frac{G M_\mathrm{tot}^2}{R_\mathrm{eq}^4} \biggr) \cdot \frac{\mathfrak{f}_W}{\mathfrak{f}_A \mathfrak{f}_M^2} \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Now, from our above [[SSC/Virial/Polytropes#Gravitational_Potential_Energy|examination of the expression for the gravitational potential energy]], we know that, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\frac{\mathfrak{f}_W}{\mathfrak{f}_M^2}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\frac{5}{5-n} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Hence, our expression for the central pressure becomes, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right" colspan="3"> <math> ~P_c = \frac{3 }{4\pi (5-n)}\biggl( \frac{G M_\mathrm{tot}^2}{R_\mathrm{eq}^4} \biggr) \cdot \frac{1}{\mathfrak{f}_A } \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> As it should, this precisely matches [[SSC/Virial/Polytropes#Central_Pressure|the expression that we derived, above]], starting from [[Appendix/References|Chandrasekhar's [C67]]] presentation. ====Gravitational Potential Energy==== END OF DELETION --> As has been [[SSCpt1/Virial#AlternateGravPotEnergy|discussed elsewhere]], we have learned from [[Appendix/References|Chandrasekhar's discussion of polytropic spheres [C67]]] — see his Equation (16), p. 64 — that if a spherically symmetric system is in hydrostatic balance, the total gravitational potential energy can be obtained from the following integral: <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~W_\mathrm{grav}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ + \frac{1}{2} \int_0^R \Phi(r) dm \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Using "[[SSCpt2/SolutionStrategies#Technique_3|technique #3]]" to solve the differential equation that governs the statement of hydrostatic balance, we know that in any polytropic sphere, <math>~\Phi(r)</math> is related to the configuration's radial enthalpy profile, <math>~H(r)</math>, via the algebraic expression, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\Phi(r) + H(r)</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~C_B \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> where, <math>~C_B</math>, is an integration constant. At the surface of the equilibrium configuration, <math>~H = 0</math> and <math>~\Phi = - GM_\mathrm{tot}/R_\mathrm{eq}</math>, so the integration constant is, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~C_B</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~- \frac{GM_\mathrm{tot}}{R_\mathrm{eq}} \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> which implies, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\Phi(r) </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ - H(r) - \frac{GM_\mathrm{tot}}{R_\mathrm{eq}} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Now, from [[SR#Barotropic_Structure|our general discussion of barotropic relations]], we can write, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~H(r)</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~(n+1) \frac{P(r)}{\rho(r)} \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Hence, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~-\Phi(r)</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~(n+1) \frac{P(r)}{\rho(r)} + \frac{GM_\mathrm{tot}}{R_\mathrm{eq}} \, ,</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> and, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~W_\mathrm{grav}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ -

2\pi \biggl\{ \frac{1}{3} (n+1)P_c R_\mathrm{eq}^3 \int_0^1 3\biggl[ \frac{P(x)}{P_c} \biggr] x^2 dx + \frac{GM_\mathrm{tot}}{3R_\mathrm{eq}} \biggl( \rho_c R_\mathrm{eq}^3 \biggr) \int_0^1 3 \biggl[ \frac{\rho(x)}{\rho_c} \biggr] x^2 dx \biggr\} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ -
