Abstract

This paper deals with the investigation of central configurations consisting of a point body, a homogeneous sphere and some drops of homogeneous ideal fluid. The existence of such central configurations, as well as the stability of the drops in linear approximation, has been proved by using the virial method (Chandrasekhar, 1969).
