F= F0+ F',......(6) or since F t is necessarily positive, the motion Me makes F an absolute minimum. It should be remarked that F'can vanish only for a motion such as can be assumed by a solid body (Stokes), and that such a motion could not make the boundary velocities vanish. The motion M0 determined by (4) is thus unique.The conclusion expressed in (6) that Me makes F an absolut6 minimmn is not limited to the supposition of a slow motion. All that is required to ensure the fulfilment of (5), on which (6) depends, is that V: Uo,~ 2v0, V: wo should be the derivatives of some single-valued function. Obviously it would suffice that~ u0, V2~. 0, V~ w0 vanish, as will happen if the motion have a velocity-potential. Stokes* remarked long ago that when there is a velocity-potential, not only are the ordinary equations of fluid motion satisfied, but the equations obtained when friction is taken into account are satisfied likewise. A motion with a velocity-potential can always be found which shall have prescribed normal velocities at the boundary, and the tangential velocities are thereby determined. If these agree with the prescribed tangential velocities of~ viscous fluid, all the conditions are satisfied by the motion in question. And since this motion makes F an absolute minimum, it cannot differ from the motion d~ termined by (4) with the same boundary conditions. We may arrive at the same conclusion by considering the general equation of motion--
