This equation is to hold good to the second order for all values of x, and therefore for each Fourier component separately. The terms in sin* and cos x give

The term in sin 2as gives and, similarly, that in cos 2$ gives

and so on. These are the results of the surface condition Dp/Dt = 0. From the other surface condition (p = 0) we find in the same way

From equations (9) to (16) we see that a, a' satisfy the same equations (9) as do a, a', and also that c, c' satisfy the same equations (12) as do 7, 7'; but that b, V are not quite so simply related to /3, /3'.. (6)
