===Determining Expressions for Free-Energy Coefficients=== We should be able to convert the separately derived expression for <math>~W_\mathrm{grav}^*</math> into an expression for the free-energy coefficient, <math>~A</math>, in equilibrium configurations. As [[User:Tohline/SSC/Virial/PolytropesSummary#Virial_Theorem|noted above]], for a fixed value of <math>~A</math>, <div align="center"> <math>~W_\mathrm{grav}^* ~~\rightarrow ~~ -3A\chi^{-1} \, .</math> </div> Therefore, in an equilibrium configuration, we can write, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> ~W_\mathrm{grav}^* </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> -3A\chi_\mathrm{eq}^{-1} = -3A \biggl( \frac{R_\mathrm{norm}}{R_\mathrm{eq}}\biggr) = -3A \biggl( \frac{R_\mathrm{SWS}}{R_\mathrm{eq}}\biggr)\biggl( \frac{R_\mathrm{norm}}{R_\mathrm{SWS}}\biggr)</math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> ~\Rightarrow ~~~ A </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> -\frac{1}{3} W_\mathrm{grav}^* \biggl( \frac{R_\mathrm{eq}}{R_\mathrm{SWS}}\biggr)\biggl( \frac{R_\mathrm{SWS}}{R_\mathrm{norm}}\biggr) \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Now, from immediately above, we know that, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="4"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math> ~\frac{R_\mathrm{eq}}{R_\mathrm{SWS} }\biggr|_{n=5} </math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \biggl( \frac{5\cdot 3}{2^2\pi} \biggr)^{1/2} \ell (1 + \ell^2)^{-1} \, ; </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> and, from our [[User:Tohline/SSC/Structure/BiPolytropes/Analytic5_1#Free_Energy|accompanying discussion of the free-energy of bipolytropic configurations]], we know that, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="4"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~W^*_\mathrm{core}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ - \biggl( \frac{3^8}{2^5\pi } \biggr)^{1/2} \biggl[ x_i\biggl(x_i^4 - \frac{8}{3}x_i^2 - 1\biggr) (1 + x_i^2)^{-3} + \tan^{-1}(x_i) \biggr] \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> So, again realizing that <math>~x_i</math> and <math>~\ell</math> are interchangeable, we have, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="4"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~A</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \frac{1}{3} \biggl( \frac{3^8}{2^5\pi } \biggr)^{1/2} \biggl( \frac{5\cdot 3}{2^2\pi} \biggr)^{1/2} \ell (1 + \ell^2)^{-1} \biggl[ \ell \biggl(\ell^4 - \frac{8}{3}\ell^2 - 1\biggr) (1 + \ell^2)^{-3} + \tan^{-1}(\ell) \biggr] \biggl( \frac{R_\mathrm{SWS}}{R_\mathrm{norm}}\biggr) </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~=~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~ \biggl( \frac{3^7 \cdot 5}{2^7\pi^2 } \biggr)^{1/2} \ell (1 + \ell^2)^{-1} \biggl[ \ell \biggl(\ell^4 - \frac{8}{3}\ell^2 - 1\biggr) (1 + \ell^2)^{-3} + \tan^{-1}(\ell) \biggr] \biggl( \frac{R_\mathrm{SWS}}{R_\mathrm{norm}}\biggr) \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> Finally, we need to determine an expression for the ratio, <math>~R_\mathrm{SWS}/R_\mathrm{norm}</math>.
