I'm researching dark matter and how it affects galaxy rotation curves, I came up with the problem below.

Imagine a very thin, flat disk which has uniform mass per unit area.

What is the gravitational field strength (g) within the disk itself? How does g vary with respect to r, the distance from the center of the disk.

The area density of the disk is δ and the radius of the disk is R.
