Abstract
In a recent report [Liu and O'Keefe, 1965], we presented the analysis of the resonance-locked rotation of the planet Mercury under the influence of the planetary potential and the orbital eccentricity. My purpose in writing the present note is to record the numerical solution of the librational motion. Integration of the equations of rotation of the planet Mercury is facilitated by having a computer perform the pertinent numerical algorithms. The perturbations to the two-thirds orbital period rotation of Mercury are calculated accurately to one-tenth of a second of arc.
