[oo] T = [pi][sigma]^2 | z[psi](z)dz. (35) _/0 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 _ _ / / | [psi](z)dz = z[psi](z) + (1/3)z^3[PI](z) + 1/3 | z^3[phi](z)dz, _/ _/ _ _ / / | z[psi](z)dz = 1/2z^2[psi](z) + (1/8)z^4[PI](z) + 1/8 | z^4 [phi](z)dz. _/ _/ In all cases to which it is necessary to have regard the integrated terms vanish at both limits, and we may write _ _ _ _ / [oo] 1 / [oo] / [oo] 1 / [oo] | [psi](z)dz = -- | z^3 [phi](z)dz, | z[psi](z)dz = -- | z^4 [phi](z)dz; (36) _/0 3 _/0 _/0 8 _/0 so that _ _ 2[pi] / [oo] [pi] / [oo] K0 = ----- | z^3[phi](z)dz, T0 = ---- | z^4 [phi](z)dz. (37) 3 _/0 8 _/0 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) = ---------, n+1 n+3 . n+1 2[pi]z^(n+4) |[oo] K0 =
