Solution Summary
Virial theorems for the age of a star of constant luminosity is determined. Uniform density and constant luminosity is analyzed.
Solution Preview
Your assignment talks about a star of CONSTANT LUMINOSITY.
Therefore you cannot use the Stefan-Boltzmann Law for luminosity, as then it WOULD NOT BE CONSTANT
In my understanding of your assignment, you are given the ...
