First case: two identical whirls.—Let us consider the compo-nents Px and Py and their resultant P/i in a plane parallel to theplane of the wliirls. Let C (Fig. 23) be the middle point of theline AB joining points A and B where the axes of the whirls cut theplane. Let M and M be two points in the plane situated sym-metrically with regard to C, and let us denote by accents theletters corresponding to the point M.

For the two identical whirlswe have chosen case No. 5 of Fig. 8, with A =500 km, CO =20° Pi = 5ookm, c= P2= 50,000 km , r= 100,000 km. RESEARCHES ON SOLAR VORTICES 387 Second case: two whirls corresponding to cases Nos. 5 and 8 inFig. 8.—For the whirl A we have e negative and co and v positive,and for the whirl B, £=£, (o=—w, v =? — V , consequently c=pzv=—c. Further, for both whirls /?, p,, and p^ are supposed to be the same. Let us consider (Fig. 24) as before a given level above the planeof the two whirls, and let CD be the perpendicular through thecentral point C of the line AB. Let M and M be two pointssituated symmetrically with respect to this line, and let us denoteby accents the letters corresponding to the point M. We have Further by formula (11), //j? positive, E^ negative and we find and P = ^Hr sin a-H^ cos
