Figure 3.3 Free solution generated by the free constant A 4,1 = 1.

The free solution generated by the free constant A 1,0 is unusual, as neither the
radial displacement represented by y 1 , nor the transverse displacement represented
by y 3 , vanishes at the geocentre. Thus, it has a pure translational component.
