Abstract
The Jordan-Brans-Dicke field equations [1] contain the four-dimensional field equations of the five-dimensional projective unified theory. As it should be, Einstein's theory is incorporated as a limiting case. In this paper we present a method to determine explicitly for every static spherically symmetric solution of Einstein's theory with perfect fluid an analogous solution of Jordan-Brans-Dicke theory. As a particular example a “generalized interior Schwarzschild solution” is given.
