Summary
A derivation of the generalized Lagally theorem for the forces on a body in translational motion in an unsteady inhomogeneous flow field of an inviscid incompressible fluid is given. It is also shown that some well-known results for the forces on spherical bodies can be obtained in a simple way by using this theorem.
