Abstract
It has been observed that for a computer-simulated Lennard-Jones 12-6 liquid on the liquid-vapour coexistence line, the distribution function, p(f), for a cartesian component of the force on an atom, f, is remarkably close to exponential in form over a wide range of f. There appears to be no simple theoretical reason for this simple result. An approximate theoretical analysis is given which confirms this behaviour and suggests that it may be quite general for liquids with approximately spherically symmetric, short-ranged, interparticle potentials.
