How does the composition of the molecular cloud affect the type of planets and stars that form within it?
T/F: A molecular cloud is held together by gravity.
By invoking the requirements of hydrostatic equilibrium, explain why the assumption of a constant gas pressure $P_{0}$ in Eq. $(\quad 33)$ cannot be correct for a static cloud without magnetic fields. What does that imply about the assumptions of constant mass density in an isothermal molecular cloud having a constant composition throughout? $$M_{J}=\frac{c_{J} v_{T}^{4}}{P_{0}^{1 / 2} G^{3 / 2}}$$
