Abstract

Beginning with a general ansatz for the energy-momentum-stress tensor of masses in uniform rotation we determine uniquely the energy tensor and the gravitational field of two particular systems; namely, a thin, rotating, hollow cylinder and a spinning rod (dumb-bell). All calculations are made within the framework of linearised theory, but no restriction is made upon angular velocity, except that given by the velocity of light.
