Variable-mass system events. The following derivation is for a body that is gaining mass (accretion). A body of time-varying mass "m" moves at a velocity v at an initial time "t". In the same instant, a particle of mass dm moves with velocity u. The initial momentum can be written as Now at a time "t" + d"t", let both the main body and the particle accrete into a body of velocity v + dv. Thus the new momentum of the system can be written as Since d"m"dv is the product of two small values, it can be ignored, meaning during d"t"
Smith–Minkowski–Siegel mass formula all the "p"-masses have their standard value, then the total mass is the standard mass where The values of the Riemann zeta function for an even integers "s" are given in terms of Bernoulli numbers by So the mass of "ƒ" is given as a finite product of rational numbers as If the form "f" has a p-adic Jordan decomposition where "q" runs through powers of "p" and "f" has determinant prime to "p" and dimension "n"("q"), then the "p"-mass is given by Here "n"(II) is the sum of the dimensions of all Jordan components of type 2 and "p"
