Solution of ν3 = (a − c)3/R computed for the two-layer model, developed to the order of 3, for the parametric space covered in this study and for specific bodies. σ = 0 corresponds to a homogeneous body of density equal to 920 kg m−3, whereas σ = 1 corresponds to a homogeneous body of density 3000 kg m−3.
