===Apply Boundary Conditions=== The enthalpy should go to zero everywhere on the surface of the spheroid. By pinning the surface down at two points and setting <math>~H=0</math> at both of these locations, we can determine the two unknown constants in the above expression. We choose to pin down the edge of the configuration in the equatorial plane — ''i.e.'', at <math>(\varpi,z) = (a_1,0)</math> — and along the symmetry axis at the pole — ''i.e.'', at <math>(\varpi,z) = (0,a_3)</math>. From the boundary condition at the pole, we derive the Bernoulli constant, specifically, <div align="center"> <math> C_\mathrm{B} = - \pi G \rho \biggl[ I_\mathrm{BT} a_1^2 - A_3 a_3^2 \biggr] = - \pi G \rho a_1^2 \biggl[ I_\mathrm{BT} - A_3 (1-e^2) \biggr] ; </math> </div> and from the boundary condition in the equatorial plane we derive the rotational angular velocity, specifically, <div align="center" id="EquilibriumFrequency"> <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="5"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> \frac{1}{2}a_1^2 \omega_0^2 </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math> ~= </math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> - C_\mathrm{B} - \pi G \rho \biggl[ I_\mathrm{BT} a_1^2 - A_1 a_1^2 \biggr] </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> \Rightarrow ~~~~~ \omega_0^2 </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math> ~= </math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> 2\pi G \rho \biggl[ A_1 - A_3 (1-e^2) \biggr] \, . </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" colspan="3"> [<b>[[Appendix/References#T78|<font color="red">T78</font>]]</b>], §4.5, p. 86, Eq.
