It will be found that it is unnecessary to retain (drjd0)", and thus the pressure equation becomes

It is proposed to satisfy this equation so far as terms of the order r2/a2 inclusive.
As a function of 0, r may be taken to be
r = r0 + Sr = r0 + rx cos 0 + rz cos

where r1} ra, &c. are constants small relatively to r0. It will appear that to our order of approximation (8r/r0)2 may be neglected and that it is unnecessary to include the r's beyond rs inclusive. We have
