dc.description.abstract	Consideration of the basic physics involved in the structure of the object are used to obtain relationships for the radius, period, angular momentum, etc. of a typical asteroid. The mass-angular momentum relation for asteroids would tend to favour the fragmentation hypothesis.	en
