At this point it is convenient to re-introduce 6, where cc = /3 cot 9, and
dec = — /3 sin~2 Od6.
We have

£sin-20d0
The upper limit oo for x corresponds to 0=0; the lower limit a corresponds to what after the integration we may still denote by 6, where a = /3 cot 0. Thus

as we write it for brevity.    It now remains1, to discuss (9) as a function of r and 0, under the limitation, however, that r > c.
When 0 is small,
/(0) = 40,    F(6) =
so that (9) becomes

vanishing when 0 = 0, as was to be expected, since this is a line of symmetry. Inasmuch as .r > c, (10) takes its sign from 0,
The table gives values of/ and F for certain angles of 0. In the fourth column are entered the values of (9) when r — c, that is on the surface of the cylinder. So far as 0 = 50° these are the highest admissible. For example at 50°
= -8173 {(1-2049)2 - (1-2049 - c'/r8)3}.
So long as r > c, the value of (9) increases as r diminishes, and the greatest admissible value occurs at the limit r — c.    This state of things continues so-velocity U, is well known*. The problem may conveniently be reduced to one of "steady motion" by supposing the cylinder to be at rest while the fluid flows past it—a change which can make no
