Nonrelativistic Contribution to Mercury's Perihelion Precession.
Price, Michael P.; Rush, William F.
American Journal of Physics, v47 n6 p531-34 Jun 1979
Presents a calculation of the precession of the perihelion of Mercury due to the perturbations from the outer planets. The time-average effect of each planet is calculated by replacing that planet with a ring of linear mass density equal to the mass of the planet divided by the circumference of its orbit. (Author/GA)
