Confined linear-pressure spherical magnetic equilibrium ($(x^2-3)\sin x+3x\cos x=0$)

Set $\psi =\alpha \chi$, $p=p_0+P\chi$ and $\chi =F(r){\sin }^2\theta$. A regular family is $F=A[\cos (\alpha r)-\sin (\alpha r)/(\alpha r)]+c{r}^2$, where $P=-{\alpha }^{2}c/{\mu }_0$. A zero magnetic field at radius a requires $F(a)=F^{\prime }(a)=0$. For nonzero A this yields the displayed condition with $x=\alpha a$ and $c=-A[\cos x-\sin x/x]/a^2$. The boundary pressure is $p_0$, independent of angle. The trigonometric pair is tied by regularity and the radial differential equation; its coefficients are not independent.
