The general solution of (7) is
Rn = Anrn"'a + Bnr~n"/a + _
the introduction of which into (4) gives ty.
In (8) An and En are arbitrary constants to be determined by conditions of the problem. For example, we might make En> and •\IT, vanish when r — r^ and when r =r2, so that the fixed boundary the fluid would consist of two radii vectores and two circular arc fluid extend to the origin, we must make Bn — 0; and if the bo completed by the circular arc r = 1, we have An = 0 when n is even, n is odd

The above formula (10) relates to the motion of uniformly rote bounded by stationary radii vectores at d = 0, 6 — a. We may su containing vessel to have been rotating for a long time and that (under the influence of a very small viscosity) has acquired this r that the whole revolves like a solid body. The motion expressed that which would ensue if the rotation of the vessel were suddenl; A related problem was solved a long time since by Stokes*, who c the irrotational motion of fluid in a revolving sector. The solution problem is derivable from (10) by mere addition to the latter of i/r0 for then ^ + ^r0 satisfies V2 (^r + ^r0) = 0 ; and this is perhaps th«
