This paper is devoted principally to a statistical analysis of the speed of the fluctuations in the gravita- tional field acting at some fixed point in a system containing a random distribution of mass centers (stars) in motion. The solution to the problem depends on the evaluation of the moment fl 2F of a certain bivariate distribution W(F, f) giving the probability of a force Fper unit mass acting at a point and a simultaneous rate of change of F of amount 1. This moment f~ 2j~ is related to the mean life T of the state F according to the formula Fl T= ,. (i) -v fI2
