Abstract: It was recently shown that the metric functions which describe a spherically symmetric space-time with vanishing radial pressure can be explicitly integrated. We investigate the nakedness and curvature strength of the shell-focusing singularity in that space-time. If the singularity is naked, the relation between the circumferential radius and the Misner-Sharp mass is given by $$ with $$ along the first radial null geodesic from the singularity. The $$ is closely related to the curvature strength of the naked singularity. For example, for the outgoing or ingoing null geodesic, if the strong curvature condition (SCC) by Tipler holds, then $$ must be equal to 1. We define the ``gravity dominance condition (GDC) for a geodesic. If GDC is satisfied for the null geodesic, both SCC and the limiting focusing condition (LFC) by Kr'olak hold for $$ and $y_{0}e1$, not SCC but only LFC holds for $$, and neither holds for $$, for the null geodesic. On the other hand, if GDC is satisfied for the timelike geodesic $r=0$, both SCC and LFC are satisfied for the timelike geodesic, irrespective of the value of $$. Several examples are also discussed.
