A number of cases are worked out in the See also:American See also:Journal of See also:Mathematics (1907), in which the See also:motion is made algebraical by the use of the pseudo-elliptic integral. To give a See also:simple instance, changing to the stereographic See also:projection by putting tan 10=x, (Nxe9i) a n = (x+ 1)'f X 1 +i (x - I) ' X2, (27) Xi X2= tax4+2ax3r3(a+b)x2+2bxtb, (28) N3-=-- -8(a+b), (29) will give a possible See also:state of motion of the axis of the See also:body; and the motion of the centre may then be inferred from (22). 50. The theory preceding is of See also:practical application in the investigation of the stability of the axial motion of a submarine See also:boat, of the elongated See also:gas bag of an airship, or of a See also:spinning rifled projectile. In the steady motion under no force of such a body in a See also:medium, the centre of gravity describes a See also:helix, while the axis describes a See also:cone See also:round the direction of motion of the centre of gravity, and the couple causing precession is due to the displacement of the medium. In the See also:absence of a medium the inertia of the body to See also:translation is the same in all directions, and is measured by theweight W, and under no force the C.G. proceeds in a straight See also:line, and the axis of rotation through the C.G. preserves its original direction, if a See also:principal axis of the body; otherwise the axis describes a cone, right circular if the body has uniaxial symmetry, and a See also:Poinsot cone in the See also:general See also:case. But the presence of the medium makes the effective inertia depend on the direction of motion with respect to the See also:external shape of the body, and on W' the See also:weight of fluid medium displaced. Consider, for example, a submarine boat under See also:water; the inertia is different for axial and See also:broadside motion, and may be represented by ci=W+W'a, c2=W+W'S, (1) where a, are numerical factors depending on the external shape; and if the C.G is moving with velocity V at an See also:angle 4, with the axis, so that the axial and broadside component of velocity is u =V See also:cos 0, v =V See also:sin 0, the See also:total momentum F of the medium, represented by the vector OF at an angle 0 with the axis, will have components, expressed in sec. lb, F cos B = c,g = (W +W'a) 8 cos 0, F sin B = czg = (W +W'f) 8 sin 0. (2) Suppose the body is kept from turning as it advances; after t seconds the C.G. will have moved from 0 to 0', where OO'=Vl; and at 0' the. momentum is the same in magnitude as before, but its vector is displaced from OF to O'F'. For the body alone the resultant of the components of momentum W g cos q, andW % sin ¢ is W 8 sec. lb, acting along 00', and so is unaltered. But the See also:change of the resultant momentum F of the medium as well as of the body from the vector OF to O'F' requires an impulse couple, tending to increase the angle FOO', of magnitude, in sec.' See also:foot-pounds F.00'.sin FOO' =FVt sin (0-¢), (4) See also:equivalent to an incessant couple N=FV sin (0-¢) = (F sin B cos 4,-F cos 0 sin ¢)V = (c2 -ci) (V2/g) sin ¢ cos ¢ = W'(1-a)uv/g. (5) This N is the couple in foot-pounds changing the momentum of the medium, the momentum of the body alone remaining the same; the medium reacts on the body with the same couple N in the opposite direction, tending when c2-ci is positive to set the body broadside to the advance. An oblate flattened body, like a disk or See also:plate, has cx-ci negative, so that the medium steers the body axially; this may be verified by a plate dropped in water, and a See also:leaf or disk or See also:rocket-stick or piece of See also:paper falling in See also:air. A card will show the See also:influence of the couple N if projected with a spin in its See also:plane, when it will be found to change its aspect in the air. An elongated body like a See also:ship has c2-c1 positive, and the couple N tends to disturb the axial movement and makes it unstable, so that a steamer requires to be steered by See also:constant See also:attention at the helm. Consider a submarine boat or airship moving freely with the direction of the resultant momentum See also:horizontal, and the axis at a slight inclination 0. With no reserve of buoyancy W =W', and the couple N, tending to increase 0, has the effect of diminishing the metacentric height by h ft. See also:vertical, where Wh tan 0 =N = (c2-ci)Z % tan B, (6) _c2—c1 C, u2=(~— )I+a u2 h- W czg a1+19 g 51. An elongated shot is made to preserve its axial See also:flight through the air by giving it the spin sufficient for stability, without which it would turn broadside to its advance; a See also:top in the same way is made to stand upright on the point in the position of See also:equilibrium, unstable statically but dynamically See also:stable if the spin is sufficient; and the investigation proceeds in the same way for the two problems (see GYRoscoPE). The effective angular inertia of the body in the medium is now required; denote it by C1 about the axis of the figure, and by C; about a See also:diameter of the mean See also:section. A rotation about the axis of a figure of revolution does not set the medium in motion, so that C, is the moment of inertia of the body about the axis, denoted by Wk;. But if Wk2 is the moment of inertia of the body about a mean diameter, and w the angular velocity about it generated by an impluse couple M, and M' is the couple required to set the surrounding medium in motion, supposed of effective See also:radius of gyration k', Wkpa=M-M', W'k'2w=M', (1) (Wk? +W'k'2)w =M, (2) C2 = Wkl +W'k'2 = (W+W's)kz, (3) in which we have put k'2=ek2, where e is a numerical factor depending on the shape.

(6) The least admissible value of p is that which makes the roots equal of this quadratic in µ, and then µ = Cl Ip sec e, the roots would be imaginary for a value of p smaller than given by C;p2-4(c2-ci)c, c C2u2=o.

The Motion of a Perforated Solid in Liquid.-In the preceding investigation, the liquid stops dead when the body is brought to See also:rest; and when the body is in motion the surrounding liquid moves in a See also:uniform manner with respect to axes fixed in the body, and the force experienced by the body from the pressure of the liquid on its See also:surface is the opposite of that required to change the motion of the liquid; this has been expressed by the dynamical equations given above. But if the body is perforated, the liquid can circulate through a hole, in reentrant stream lines linked with the body, even while the body is at rest; and no reaction from the surface can influence this circulation, which may be supposed started in the ideal manner described in § 29, by the application of impulsive pressure across an ideal membrane closing the hole, by "means of ideal mechanism connected with the body. The body is held fixed, and the reaction of the mechanism and the resultant of the impulsive pressure on the surface are a measure of the impulse, linear i;, and angular a, p, v, required to start the circulation. which makes the circumference of the See also:cylinder on which the helix is wrapped µ(u sino-vcoso)=2 (/3-a)(x2+I)sin' ocose nd - a) (x2+ I) sine ¢os 9, (4) and' the length of one turn of the helix 2r -(u cos 0+v sin 0) =nd(x2+1) ; thus for x=3, the length is to times the pitch of the rifling. (5) This impulse will remain of constant magnitude, and fixed relatively to the body, which thus experiences an additional reaction from the circulation which is the opposite of the force required to change the position in space of the circulation impulse; and these extra forces must be taken into See also:account in the dynamical equations. An See also:article may be consulted in the Phil. Meg., See also:April 1893, by G. H. See also:Bryan, in which the See also:analytical equations of motion are deduced of a perforated solid in liquid, from considerations purely hydrodynamical. The effect of an external circulation of vortex motion on the motion of a cylinder has been investigated in § 29; a similar See also:procedure will show the influence of circulation through a hole in a solid, taking as the simplest See also:illustration a See also:ring-shaped figure, with uniplanar motion, and denoting by E the resultant axial linear momentum"of the circulation. As the ring is moved from 0 to 0' in time t, with velocity Q, and angular velocity R, the components of liquid momentum change from aM'U +# and BM'V along Ox and Oy to aM'U'+i: and SM'V' along 0'x' and O'y', (1) the axis of the ring changing from Ox to 0'x'; and U=Qcos0, VQsin0, U'=Q cos (O —RI), V'=Q sin (0 —Rt), (2) so that the increase of the components of momentum, X,, Y,, and Ni, linear and angular, are X, _ (aM'U'+E) cos Rt—aM'U—E—13M'V' sin Rt = (a—$)M'Q sin_(o—Rt) sin Rt —Ever Rt (3) Yl = (aM'U'+E) sin Rt+RM'V' cos Rt—13M'V _ (a -13) M'Q cos (B —Rt) sin Rt+E Sin RT, (4) N, =[—(aM'U'+i;) sin (o—Rt)+RM'V' cos (0—Rt)See also:IOO' [—(a—p)M'Qcos(0—Rt)sin (e—Rt)—Esin(o—ROM.

(8) Now suppose the cylinder is See also:free; the additional forces acting on the body are the components of kinetic reaction of the liquid _aM' ( —VR) —,BM' (dt +UR) , so that its equations of motion are M (dU—VR) (dttJ —VR) ....
