Suppose we rewrite (Version 1 of) the above-highlighted Key integral expression such that the (primed) coordinate location of each mass element is mapped from cylindrical coordinates (ϖ',z') to a toroidal-coordinate system (η',θ') whose anchor ring cuts through the meridional plane at the cylindrical-coordinate location, (ϖa,za). This desired mapping is handled via the pair of relations,

ϖ'=ϖasinhη'(coshη'cosθ'),

      and      

(z'za)=ϖasinθ'(coshη'cosθ'),

and the corresponding expression for each differential mass element is,

δM(η',θ')=[2πϖa3sinhη'(coshη'cosθ')3]ρ(η',θ')dη'dθ'.

This gives, what we will refer to as the,

Gravitational Potential of an Axisymmetric Mass Distribution (Version 2)

Φ(ϖ,z)|axisym

=

Gπconfig[μϖ1/2][ϖasinhη'(coshη'cosθ')]1/2K(μ)[2πϖa3sinhη'(coshη'cosθ')3]ρ(η',θ')dη'dθ'

 

=

2G(ϖa5ϖ)1/2config[sinhη'(coshη'cosθ')5]1/2μK(μ)ρ(η',θ')dη'dθ',

where the square of the argument of the elliptic integral is,

μ2

=

4ϖϖasinhη'(coshη'cosθ'){[ϖ+ϖasinhη'(coshη'cosθ')]2+[zzaϖasinθ'(coshη'cosθ')]2}1.
