    1414- which means that the mass contained within each concentric sphere remains a constant over the collapse

    16 This last point is useful for solving integrating the equation. Since the mass is constant in any shell (i.e. shell by the way here is used to mean concentric sphere), we can replace [[latex($M_r$)]] in the equation by [[latex($M_r = \frac{4}{3} \pi r_0^3 \rho_0$)]]. Integrating this equation under the boundary condition: the initial velocity [[latex($\frac{dr}{dt}=0$)]] at the initial radius of the sphere [[latex($r=r_0$)]], leads to an equation that describes the radius of the outer sphere over time (i.e. over the course of collapse), and the velocity at this radius over time. We will look at these equations next.
