[p. 29]
(Einstein)
[132]The
calculations
on [p. 29]
above the horizontal line
are
a
brief
summary
of
the
calculations
on
[p.
28].
The
perihelion
advance of
Mercury
in
the
field
of
a
static
sun
is
converted from
fractions
of
ir
per
half
a
revolution
to
seconds of
arc
per century (see
notes 128-131).
The
fact
that the
factor
Ac0/F
(see
[eq. 177]
and
[eq.
180]
on [p.
26])
is
dimensionless
is
checked.
[133]The
calculations
on
[p.
29]
below the horizontal
line
are
part
of the evaluation of the
perihelion
advance of
Mercury
in
the
field
of
a
rotating sun.
The
same
calculations
can
be
found
on [pp.
34-35] (see notes 153
and
162).
[Eq.
182]
should
have
R2 instead of R3
(see [eq.
205]
on [p.
34]).
[Eq.
183]
is
equivalent
to
[eq.
207] on
[p.
34]
and
[eq.
212] on
[p.
35].
The
numbers
to
the
right
give
the radius
R
of
the
sun
in
terms
of the radius
Re
=
6.4
.
108
cm
of the Earth
(see notes 155
and
162).
