5.3 The space between two concentric spherical shells of radii ?? ,?? (?? <?? ) is filled 
with a liquid of density p. If the shells are set in motion, the inner one with velocity 
?? in the ?? -direction and the outer one with velocity ?? in the ?? -direction, then show 
that the initial motion of the liquid is given by velocity potential

where ?? ?? =?? ?? +?? ?? +?? ?? , the coordinates being rectangular. Evaluate the velocity 
at any point of the liquid.

Solution: 
As shown in figure, let ?? be the common centre and ?? be velocity potential of initial 
motion. ?? and ?? be initial velocities of inner and outer shells in ?? and ?? direction 
respectively. The following two conditions should be satisfied. 
(i) ?? satisfies Laplace's equation
