A PARTICLE AT REST IN A STATIC AXIALLY SYMMETRIC GRAVITATIONAL FIELD

OSTI ID:4820322

The equations of Weyl and Levi-Civita for a static axially symmetric field are written in spherical polar coordinates, and a general solution describing a particle in an external field is obtained. The condition that there be no singularities on the axis except at the particle is equivalent to the requirement that in the corresponding Newtonian case, the force on the particle vanish. (auth)
