L. F. Obagboye, S. X. K. Howusu

Abstract

In this paper we formulate and solve Newton's gravitational Field equations for a static homogeneous spherical distribution of mass in rotational spherical polar coordinates to pave the way for applications such as planetary theory in rotational spherical polar coordinates.
