There are also indirect resistances , owing to friction impeding the tidal motions ,
on all bodies which , like the earth , have portions of their free surfaces covered
by liquid , which , as long as these bodies move relatively to neighbouring bodies

This could not go on without loss of energy by fluid friction . It is not easy to trace
the whole course of the disturbance in the earth's and moon's motions which this
cause would produce , but its ultimate effect must be to bring the earth , moon ...

the relative importance of tidal friction , and of the resistance of the resisting
medium through which the earth and moon move ; but whatever it may be , there
can be but one ultimate result for such a system as that of the sun and planets , if

A material system , whose relative motions are unresisted by friction , is in
equilibrium in any particular configuration if , and is not in equilibrium unless , the
rate at which the applied forces perform work at the instant of passing through it is
