I am going to solve the Einstein field equations with a point mass source.

1 8G
R Rg = 4 T
2 c
Since we are dealing with a particle at rest, all the energy momentum tensor
components vanish except for T00 = mc2 2 (~r r~0 ). Furthermore, we can write
the delta function in terms of the magnitudes of the vectors ~r and r~0 First, in
spherical coordinates we have:
1
2 (~r r~0 ) = (r r0 )( 0 )
r
Now, in our situation, we have azimuthal symmetry; so we could project out
the part of the delta function by just put a factor of 2 in the denominator.

We end up with 2 (~r r~0 ) = 2r (r r0 ).
Lets now turn to our main goal which is to solve the field equations. As
Schwarzschild taught us, a lot of the solution should be known by appealing to
symmetry. First, the metric should not depend on time (static) as the particle
is at rest; there is no dynamics whatsoever. Secondly, the metric should be
spherically symmetric as every direction is on equal footing with any other
direction in space. so, we can write:

ds2 = eA(r) dt2 + eB(r) dr2 + r2 d2

Note the use of exponentials is to ensure that t and r are time-like and
space-like coordinates, respectively. We could also make a redefinition of the
time coordinate, and the metric simplifies to

ds2 = dt2 + eB(r) dr2 + r2 d2

Now, we get back to Einsteins equations which is nontrivial only for the (00)
component.
1 8G
R00 Rg00 = 4 T00
2 c
Inserting the energy momentum tensor;

1 4Gm (r r0 )
R00 Rg00 = 2
2 c r
We just need to calculate the (00) component of the Einsteins tensor by using
the Mathematica package, and we ended up with this differential equation

eB dB = (r r0 )dr
