摘要:
In one of his manuscripts, Maxwell investigated the effect of random collisions among the particles constituting Saturn's rings. A stable steady state was assumed for the stochastic variables involved, and some parameters were calculated. It was concluded that the rings gradually approach the planet, owing to the energy loss involved in the collisions. In the present paper the manuscript is reproduced, and an attempt is made to extend the investigation beyond the unfinished state in which Maxwell left it.
