===Technique 1=== Integrating the Poisson equation once, from the center of the configuration <math>~(r=0)</math> out to some finite radius, <math>~r</math>, that is still inside the configuration, gives, <div align="center"> <math> ~\int_0^r d\biggl( r^2 \frac{d \Phi}{dr} \biggr) = \int_0^r 4\pi G r^2 \rho dr </math><br /> <math> \Rightarrow ~~~~~ r^2 \frac{d \Phi}{dr} \biggr|_0^r = GM_r \, . </math> </div> Now, as long as <math>~d\Phi/dr</math> increases less steeply than <math>~r^{-2}</math> as we move toward the center of the configuration — indeed, we will find that <math>~d\Phi/dr</math> usually goes smoothly to zero at the center — the term on the left-hand-side of this last expression will go to zero at <math>~r=0</math>. Hence, this first integration of the Poisson equation gives, <div align="center"> <math> ~\frac{d \Phi}{dr} = \frac{G M_r}{r^2} \, . </math> </div> Substituting this expression into the hydrostatic balance equation gives, <div align="center"> {{Math/EQ_SShydrostaticBalance01}} </div> that is, a single governing integro-differential equation which depends only on the two unknown functions, {{Math/VAR_Pressure01}} and {{Math/VAR_Density01}} .
