A spherically symmetric gravitational system of particles has a mass density ρ=ρ0 for rR0  for r>R where ρ0 is a constant. A test mass can undergo circular motion under the influence of the gravitational field of particles. Its speed $V$ as a function of distance r0<r< from the centre of the system is represented by
