(1) Using equations developed in class, demonstrate that the gravitational force of a circularly symmetric distribution of mass in a disk on a point mass in the plane of the disk, but beyond its edge is not the same as if all the mass were concentrated in a point mass at the center of the disk (i.e. the result differs from that of a sphere). You can use either a program such as Mathematica or MathCad (recommended) or analytic methods.
