The document discusses finding the shape of an asteroid that maximizes the gravitational force at a single point on its surface, given the asteroid's total mass and uniform density. It is shown that a spherical asteroid does not maximize this gravitational force. Through an intuitive approach and using calculus of variations, the document derives that an asteroid shaped as x(z) = z^(2/3) * (z0^(4/3) - z^(4/3))^(1/2) maximizes the gravitational force, where z0 = 1.7a for an asteroid with the same density and mass as a sphere of radius a.
