phrases will be further spoken of in Chap. YI.)Application of equation (a) to a planet in its orbit aboutthe sun.—Fig. 90. Here the only force at any instant is the at-traction of the sun R = C -=- u? (see Prob. 3, § 59),where G is a constant and u the variable radiusvector. As u diminishes, v… … ent of the direction of the initial velocity c. Note.—If u0 were = infinity, the last member of equation (b) would re-duce to G -5- tii, and is numerically the quantity called potential in thetheory of electricity.
