In Laplace's notation the second member of (34), multiplied by 2[pi],
is represented by H.
As Laplace has shown, the values for K and T may also be expressed in
terms of the function [phi], with which we started. Integrating by
parts, we get

In all cases to which it is necessary to have regard the integrated
terms vanish at both limits, and we may write

A few examples of these formulae will promote an intelligent
comprehension of the subject. One of the simplest suppositions open to
us is that
[phi](f) = e^([beta] f). (38)
From this we obtain
[Pi](z) = [beta]^(-1) e^([beta] z), [psi](z) = [beta]^(-3)([beta]z + 1) e^(-[beta] z), (39)
K0 = 4[pi][beta]^(-4), T0 = 3[pi][beta]^(-5). (40)
The range of the attractive force is mathematically infinite, but
practically of the order [beta]^(-1), and we see that T is of higher
order in this small quantity than K. That K is in all cases of the
fourth order and T of the fifth order in the range of the forces is
obvious from (37) without integration.
An apparently simple example would be to suppose [phi](z) = z^n. We
get
z^(n+1) z^(n+3)
[PI](z) = - -------, [psi](z) = ---------,
