Suppose that in a spherical cluster ofradius R the density of stars depends only on the distancefrom the center of the cluster. If the perceived star density isgiven by y(s) , where is the observed planar distance fromthe center of the cluster, and x (r ) is the actual density, it canbe shown that y(s) = integral s to r 2 r /sqrt ( r2 - s2 ) x(r) dr If the actual density of stars in a cluster is x (r ) = 1/2 (R-r)2 ,find the perceived density y(s)arrow_forward
