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'=ϖasinh⁡η'(cosh⁡η'−cos⁡θ'),

      and      

(z'−za)=ϖasin⁡θ'(cosh⁡η'−cos⁡θ'),

and the corresponding expression for each differential mass element is,

δM(η',θ')=[2πϖa3sinh⁡η'(cosh⁡η'−cos⁡θ')3]ρ(η',θ')dη'dθ'.

This gives, what we will refer to as the,

Gravitational Potential of an Axisymmetric Mass Distribution (Version 2)
