This is approximately the case , for instance , with trains of various lengths started
by the same locomotive : it is exactly realized in such cases as the action of an
electrified body on a number of solid or hollow spheres of the same external ...

about its axis in the same period , so as always to turn the same face to the moon
, and therefore to have all the liquids at its surface at rest relatively to the solid .
