Abstract
A simple analytical calculation is given for the drag on a ’’center of force’’ in a fluid flowing at infinity, following the approach of Peralta and Zwanzig. For infinite ramp and step potentials, we reproduce their results with new techniques which greatly simplify the calculation. We discuss the reason why the method does not give Stokes’ law, and we present a reasonable approximate method which does give Stokes’ law.
