Extract

The object of these notes is twofold. First, to connect the theory of the possible shapes of Jacobi's ellipsoidal equilibrium figure, for a given mass of homogeneous rotating liquid, with the theory of its stability and other properties given by Prof. H. F. Baker in his paper “On the stability of rotating liquid ellipsoids” in Proc. Camb. Phil. Soc. vol. 20, pp. 190–97. And secondly, to indicate two inconclusive reasonings on the subject in Thomson and Tait's Natural Philosophy (2nd edition), arts. 778 and 778′, and to complete the proofs of the results in question.
